2024 Trustees Reports Project OASI Trust Fund Depletion in 2033, Medicare HI Fund in 2036
The 2024 Trustees Reports establish fixed timelines for trust fund depletion that trigger automatic benefit cuts under existing statute. Demographic and revenue trends documented in the reports create direct pressure on future payroll taxes and benefit formulas. Legislative inaction preserves the current-law trajectory toward reduced replacement rates after 2033.

The next annual reports, due May 2025, will incorporate 2024 actual data and any enacted policy changes. Absent new legislation, trustees will again certify the same automatic reduction schedules for benefits paid after the respective depletion dates.
⚡ Prediction
CBO: Congress enacts no major OASI or HI reform before the 2033 OASI depletion date.
