The Academy's President-elect Bruce Schobel explained what would happen if Social Security and Medicare ran out of cash on hand. He said the systems do not have the authority to pay partial benefits so checks would have to be delayed until they had the money. Schobel also explored the possibilities for Social Security reform.

The Academy's Senior Pension Fellow Frank Todisco was the featured guest during podcast on Social Security and retirement planning.

The Academy was cited as source on options for addressing Social Security's financial challenges and each option's affect on the long-term funding shortfall.
