Specialist in Income Security
The Social Security Act has always required surplus Social Security revenues (revenues in excess of the program’s expenditures) to be invested in U.S. government securities (or U.S. governmentbacked securities). In recent years, however, attention has been focused on alternative investment practices in an effort to increase the interest earnings of the trust funds, among other goals. This report describes trust fund investment practices under current law.
