Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
The 2022 report was issued today - bottom line is the forecasted depletion of the Trust fund moved out a year from 2033 to 2034. I believe they have also adjusted the projected ongoing deficit to 20% from 23%.

Conclusion
Under the intermediate assumptions, the projected hypothetical combined
OASI and DI Trust Fund asset reserves become depleted and unable to pay
scheduled benefits in full on a timely basis in 2035. At the time of depletion
of these combined reserves, continuing income to the combined trust funds
would be sufficient to pay 80 percent of scheduled benefits. The OASI Trust
Fund reserves are projected to become depleted in 2034, at which time OASI
income would be sufficient to pay 77 percent of OASI scheduled benefits. DI
Trust Fund asset reserves are not projected to become depleted during the
75-year period ending in 2096.
