| | USATODAY.com - Social Security to fall short a year earlier in 2041, trustees say (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | WASHINGTON Social Security will be unable to pay full benefits in 2041, a year earlier than previously estimated, the program's trustees reported Wednesday. |
 | | After 2041, they say, Social Security would still collect enough payroll taxes to pay 74% of promised benefits if no changes are made. |
 | | The new projections, while slightly worse than last year's, were better than five years ago: In 2000, trustees said Social Security benefits would exceed payroll-tax revenue in 2015, and the trust fund would be exhausted in 2037. |
