Social Security is on track to deplete its trust funds by 2034, one year sooner than previously forecast, when the federal retirement program will be required to cut monthly benefits by about 20%. 

The new projection, issued Wednesday in the Social Security Board of Trustees' annual report, is partly due to increased costs from the Social Security Fairness Act, which boosted benefits for millions of retirees, the report said.
