Yes it has a depletion date in 2034.

Anyone here claiming social security is fine have truely zero idea what they are talking about. The numbers of today are very much not the numbers of 2035. It's one of those things where the graph doesn't look so bad until you forecast 10 years out.

It would take HUGE large changes today to add a few years to the depletion date.

The actual changes in natural disasters seem to be theoretical and small. 2010-2020 had the least category 3 or higher hurricanes on record.

Also look at the chart here.
