YANKTON, S.D.(WNAX)- A report from the Social Security Board of Trustees last week projected that their funds would become depleted in 2034, one year earlier than projected last year.

South Dakota AARP state director Erik Gaikowski says its another good reminder.

Gaikowski says Social Security has a big impact on a lot of people in the state.

Gaikowski says there will still be benefits paid in 2034.

Gaikowski says Congress needs to take bi-partisan action to ensure the future financial status of Social Security and Medicare.
