The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 14, 1935.

The three main types of Social Security benefits are retirement benefits, disability benefits, and survivors benefits.

The full retirement age for Social Security is 67 for people born in 1960 or later.

The minimum age for claiming Social Security retirement benefits is 62, but benefits are reduced if claimed before full retirement age.

The Social Security earnings limit for people who are receiving retirement benefits is $18,000 in 2023.

The Social Security disability benefit amount is $1,500 per month in 2023.

The Social Security survivors benefit amount is $2,000 per month in 2023.

The Social Security tax rate is 6.2% in 2023.

The Social Security wage base is $147,000 in 2023.

The Social Security Trust Fund holds the money collected from Social Security taxes and the money paid out in Social Security benefits.

The projected depletion date of the Social Security Trust Fund is 2033.

Some of the proposed solutions to the Social Security Trust Fund's projected depletion include raising the Social Security tax rate, increasing the Social Security wage base, and raising the full retirement age.

The Social Security Administration is the federal agency that administers the Social Security program.
