instead of going bankrupt in 2034, they're now projecting it'll go bankrupt a year and a half, maybe even 2 years sooner

Overstated

Why we checked itSpecific claim that recent legislation has moved up the Social Security trust fund insolvency date from 2034 to approximately 2032-2033 — a verifiable projection from actuarial reports
What we foundThe claim that Social Security is now projected to go bankrupt 'a year and a half to two years sooner' than 2034 is overstated: the 2026 Trustees Report still places the combined trust fund depletion date at 2034 (unchanged from 2025), while the OASI retirement-only fund moved from 2033 to 2032 — one year earlier, not two — and the CBO puts the combined date at 2033, one year earlier.
