National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI)
Do you know what Social Security is or how it works? Have you ever wondered why, whenever there is a discussion about the nation’s debt and deficits Social Security becomes a part of the conversation? Can we improve Social Security benefits for the vulnerable individuals who need it most? Would you like to know if, how, or when Social Security might run out of money?
For answers to these questions and more, the National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI) offered interns, students, and young professionals an opportunity to discuss and debate the future of Social Security at "Demystifying Social Security: Academy for Interns 2011." The free, day-long event featured prominent guest speakers, expert panels, and interactive activities, plus opportunities for networking. CEPR Domestic Intern Jane Farrell participated in a panel titled "Now What? - How Can I Use This Information and Experience?"
