Thursday, May 14
Co-hosted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
1275 First Street NE, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20002
Join the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) and the Association for Public Policy and Management (APPAM) in discussing and analyzing current proposals to strengthen Social Security’s long-term financing with a panel of experts in the field. This event is designed to foster substantive, research-based discussion and help identify gaps in current Social Security policy research that APPAM members might address. We will cover topics such as how Social Security fits into the federal budget outlook, how proposals to strengthen the program can address public priorities, the pros and cons of proposed approaches, and opportunities for bipartisan collaboration. The event will feature experts from CBPP, the National Academy of Social Insurance, the Urban Institute, AARP, and Justice in Aging. Panelists will share their perspectives, answer questions, and help identify any research gaps to fill in the coming years on the issue of solvency. We will also have plenty of time for a spring evening of networking and collaboration on CBPP’s rooftop (weather permitting), with food and drink provided.
