Social Security: Crisis?
Media Briefing: Explaining the Options for Reform

What:
From President Bush to the editorial page of The New York Times, actuaries have been cited as the experts on Social Security. Now it is the actuaries' turn to speak. This briefing for the media will cover the four major topics in the Social Security debate:
1) Is there really a funding crisis?
2) Is the Social Security trust fund's shortfall $3.7 trillion, $10.4 trillion, or something else entirely?
3) Does Social Security need to be reformed now?
4) Are personal accounts the solution?

Who:
Ron Gebhardtsbauer, Senior Pension Fellow, American Academy of Actuaries.
The Academy is the public policy and professionalism association representing all actuaries practicing in the United States.
