A proposal by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) suggests capping Social Security benefits at $100,000 for married couples or $50,000 individuals to help address the funding shortfall within the next decade. The trust funds Social Security relies on to pay benefits face depletion dates in the coming decade, with the trust fund for retirement benefits set to run out in 2032. The think tank suggests that a cap on benefits could be adjusted based on beneficiaries' ages when they begin collecting benefits. The maximum benefit limit would apply to benefit claims at full retirement age, or if the couple waits until age 70 to start benefits, their limit would be reduced to $124,000. Social Security currently provides monthly payments to over 75 million Americans, including Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries.
