This year marks the 90th anniversary of Social Security.

It continues to play a major role in supporting older Americans, despite concerns over the program’s future.

69 million or one in five U.S. residents receive Social Security.

Nationally, 14% of Americans 65 and older rely on the program for most of their income, while 40% depend on it for more than half.

In New York, Social Security is the primary source of income for more than 1.3 million seniors.
