Social Security
Reform Working Group
The Social Security Reform Working Group brings together actuaries, economists, policymakers, researchers, business leaders, retirement experts, and other qualified participants to evaluate and strengthen a practical framework for permanent Social Security reform.
Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.
~ Victor Hugo
Through independent professional review, participants test assumptions, identify weaknesses, compare alternatives, and determine what changes are required before the framework can merit broader institutional and legislative consideration.
THE WORKING GROUP
What Is the Social Security Reform Working Group?
The Social Security Reform Working Group is an independent collaborative initiative established by PRAUSA to develop and test a practical framework for permanent Social Security reform.
The Group begins with The PRAUSA Plan as a concrete starting point—not a predetermined conclusion. Participants examine the proposal, challenge assumptions, recommend improvements, and determine what can withstand independent actuarial, economic, legal, and administrative review.
WHY THE WORKING GROUP
Why the Working Group Was Created
For decades, Social Security reform has centered largely on tax increases, benefit reductions, retirement-age changes, or extensions of projected solvency. Those approaches generally retain the underlying pay-as-you-go structure.
The Working Group examines whether a different retirement architecture can produce a permanent solution while honoring existing commitments.
OUR STRATEGY
Strengthening the Framework Through Independent Review
The Working Group subjects The PRAUSA Plan to independent review. Participants test assumptions, identify weaknesses, compare alternatives, and recommend changes based on evidence.
Independent Review
Evidence
Refinement
Validation.
The objective is not to defend the starting proposal. It is to develop the strongest framework that can survive actuarial, economic, legal, administrative, and legislative scrutiny.
OUR GOAL
Produce a Permanent Framework for Social Security Reform
The goal of the Social Security Reform Working Group is to develop a thoroughly vetted retirement reform framework capable of broad professional support and introduction as federal legislation.
Permanently resolve Social Security's projected financing crisis.
Protect current retirees and workers with accrued benefits.
Transition future generations to a financially sustainable retirement system.
Establish permanent long-term solvency through a funded retirement structure.
