=E2=80=8BFormer WH Officials, Lawmakers Call for Action on Public Trustees
=C2=A0
For Immediate Release
February 11, 2020
=C2=A0
Washington, DC - In a new letter released today by the Bipartisan Policy Ce=
nter and the National Academy of Social Insurance, more than 100 former law=
makers, cabinet secretaries, White House officials, Congressional Budget Of=
fice directors, and other experts urge the Senate to take quick action on P=
resident Donald Trump's nominees to fill the Social Security and Medicare p=
ublic trustee roles.
=C2=A0
Legislation passed in 1983 established the public trustee positions as inde=
pendent, non-governmental voices on the boards of Social Security and Medic=
are. Trump this month nominated Democrat William G. Dauster to one of the o=
pen roles, alongside the previously nominated Republican James B. Lockhart =
III.
=C2=A0
"These positions have been vacant since 2015, violating the intent of feder=
al law and depriving Congress and the public of key objective insights into=
the health of the [Social Security and Medicare] Trust Funds," the letter =
argues.
=C2=A0
Given that "both programs face significant long-range financing challenges,=
" the letter reads, "it is imperative that the vacancies are filled expedit=
iously to ensure the proper monitoring and safeguarding of the funds that h=
elp provide a secure financial foundation for millions of Americans."
=C2=A0
The trustees currently project the primary Social Security trust fund to be=
exhausted in 2034 and the Medicare Hospital Insurance fund, which finances=
inpatient care, to run dry in 2026. Last year, the two programs required $=
431 billion in general revenues beyond the collections of payroll taxes and=
income taxes on Social Security.
=C2=A0
Among the letter's signatories are prominent former members of the Trump, O=
bama, George W. Bush, and Clinton administrations, 19 former members of Con=
gress, eight former Congressional Budget Office directors, and current memb=
ers of the Social Security Advisory Board. BPC and the National Academy of =
Social Insurance were supported in this effort by a grant from the Peter G.=
Peterson Foundation.

Former WH Officials, Lawmakers Call for Action on Public Trustees
For Immediate Release
February 11, 2020
Washington, DC - In a new letter released today by the Bipartisan Policy Center and the National Academy of Social Insurance, more than 100 former lawmakers, cabinet secretaries, White House officials, Congressional Budget Office directors, and other experts urge the Senate to take quick action on President Donald Trump's nominees to fill the Social Security and Medicare public trustee roles.
Legislation passed in 1983 established the public trustee positions as independent, non-governmental voices on the boards of Social Security and Medicare. Trump this month nominated Democrat William G. Dauster to one of the open roles, alongside the previously nominated Republican James B. Lockhart III.
"These positions have been vacant since 2015, violating the intent of federal law and depriving Congress and the public of key objective insights into the health of the [Social Security and Medicare] Trust Funds," the letter argues.
Given that "both programs face significant long-range financing challenges," the letter reads, "it is imperative that the vacancies are filled expeditiously to ensure the proper monitoring and safeguarding of the funds that help provide a secure financial foundation for millions of Americans."
The trustees currently project the primary Social Security trust fund to be exhausted in 2034 and the Medicare Hospital Insurance fund, which finances inpatient care, to run dry in 2026. Last year, the two programs required $431 billion in general revenues beyond the collections of payroll taxes and income taxes on Social Security.
Among the letter's signatories are prominent former members of the Trump, Obama, George W. Bush, and Clinton administrations, 19 former members of Congress, eight former Congressional Budget Office directors, and current members of the Social Security Advisory Board. BPC and the National Academy of Social Insurance were supported in this effort by a grant from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

Former WH Officials, Lawmakers Call for Action on Public Trustees
For Immediate Release
February 11, 2020
Washington, DC - In a new letter released today by the Bipartisan Policy Center and the National Academy of Social Insurance, more than 100 former lawmakers, cabinet secretaries, White House officials, Congressional Budget Office directors, and other experts urge the Senate to take quick action on President Donald Trump's nominees to fill the Social Security and Medicare public trustee roles.
Legislation passed in 1983 established the public trustee positions as independent, non-governmental voices on the boards of Social Security and Medicare. Trump this month nominated Democrat William G. Dauster to one of the open roles, alongside the previously nominated Republican James B. Lockhart III.
"These positions have been vacant since 2015, violating the intent of federal law and depriving Congress and the public of key objective insights into the health of the [Social Security and Medicare] Trust Funds," the letter argues.
Given that "both programs face significant long-range financing challenges," the letter reads, "it is imperative that the vacancies are filled expeditiously to ensure the proper monitoring and safeguarding of the funds that help provide a secure financial foundation for millions of Americans."
The trustees currently project the primary Social Security trust fund to be exhausted in 2034 and the Medicare Hospital Insurance fund, which finances inpatient care, to run dry in 2026. Last year, the two programs required $431 billion in general revenues beyond the collections of payroll taxes and income taxes on Social Security.
Among the letter's signatories are prominent former members of the Trump, Obama, George W. Bush, and Clinton administrations, 19 former members of Congress, eight former Congressional Budget Office directors, and current members of the Social Security Advisory Board. BPC and the National Academy of Social Insurance were supported in this effort by a grant from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
