The Colorado Sun’s politics reporter Brian Eason spoke with Rep. Brittany Pettersen, the Seventh Congressional District Representative, about the current state of the federal retirement program and potential paths forward as its trust fund approaches a projected shortfall in 2034.
The event was held virtually on Dec. 8, 2025.
Topics included:
- What’s happening now with Social Security funding and policy
- How staff reductions and office closures are affecting services
- How proposed changes could impact different generations
- What reforms are being discussed — and where there might be common ground
This event was presented by AARP Colorado and sponsored by Benefits in Action.
