Under GLBA, tax and accounting professionals are considered financial institutions and must implement a data security plan, which puts them under the Federal Trade Commission...

It is projected that by 2034, the Social Security trust fund may be able to pay only about 83% of scheduled benefits. For a growing number of retirees, Social Security remains an important source of income, but relying on benefits alone is becoming increasingly insufficient ...
