Facts, Myths, and Threats
Social Security is an “entitlement” program, meaning everyone eligible is entitled to Social Security payments.
It’s a “mandatory” item in the federal budget, which means the government is required to make those payments.
Social Security makes up about 21% of the federal budget.
