Measures of Actuarial Status for Social Security

Author

  • Dwight Bartlett

Abstract

From the inception of Social Security in 1935 to the present time, a variety of measures for evaluating the actuarial status of the program have been employed. In addition, how the results of these measures have been displayed and interpreted has also evolved. These results have had great influence on policymakers’ and the general public’s perceptions of the financial condition of the program. This paper is intended to be an update of my earlier paper on the same subject, that is, a historical review of the development of these methods and their interpretation. The paper closes with suggestions as to future changes in the measurement methods, in the light of possible future changes in the program itself.
