- Worth noticing
- The lab distinguishes its reconstructed reserve paths from the underlying published SSA estimates and notes that combining OASI and DI funds would require legislation.
Field notes
The controls let readers select a preset or browse policies by groups such as retirement age, family benefits, payroll taxes, and coverage. The page provides a sample scenario that removes the taxable maximum without granting extra benefit credit, and links to the Trustees workbook, SSA methodology, comparison files, and a bibliography. It distinguishes the combined OASI and DI financing view from the separate funds, noting that sharing resources would require legislation.
