'Social Security trust funds are invested in special U.S. government securities. By law, the Social Security trust funds are required to invest in securities guaranteed by the federal government.
These investments are not bought and sold for profit like stock shares. While these government securities do earn interest, the primary goal of the investments isn't profit maximization like investing in the stock market. The law requires them to be invested exclusively in securities guaranteed by the federal government, such as these special issues.
These special government securities differ from publicly traded bonds. Unlike publicly traded Treasury securities, these special issues can be redeemed at face value at any time to pay for benefits and administrative expenses, giving the trust funds the same flexibility as holding cash. Regular bonds, on the other hand, are subject to market fluctuations and could be worth more or less than their face value if sold before maturity.
The funds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The government has never defaulted on its obligations and these securities are considered among the safest investments globally.
Interest earned on these investments is a source of income for Social Security. While payroll taxes are the main source of income for Social Security, the interest earned on the trust fund's reserves is also a significant contributor.
In summary, the Social Security trust funds are invested in U.S. government securities, which are considered very safe, and they earn interest. However, these investments are not managed like a typical stock portfolio for profit, but rather to ensure the availability of funds to pay benefits as needed.'
