The Secretary of Treasury is the Chairman of the Boards of Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. He serves with five other trustees, three from the Federal government (the Commissioner of Social Security, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Labor) and two public trustees who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
Each year the trustees provide Congress with a detailed accounting of the current and projected financial status of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. Two reports are issued, one for Social Security and one for Medicare.
Below are links to current and previous years' trustees reports on the web sites of the Social Security Administration and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. There is also a link to the Green Book published by the House Ways and Means Committee. The Green Book provides background material and data on programs within the Committee's jurisdiction, including the Social Security and Medicare programs.
