Academy Releases Social Security Challenge
The Academy’s Social Security Challenge is live. Offering a look at the popular program’s funding and reform options, this interactive tool is a timely contribution to the public dialogue, and in line with the Academy’s public policy mission.
The Challenge immerses users in an animated trek through “Townsville,” where you can learn about the program’s challenges and try your hand at various reform proposals. Give it a try and share it with your friends and colleagues. Take the Challenge.
The Academy is sharing the launch with legislators, stakeholders in the retirement space, and the news media to inform the important ongoing dialogue about the solvency issue facing Social Security, and possible solutions, based on our extensive work in this area.
