Social Security will last as long as there is political will to maintain payroll taxes to pay for it. It is not slated to go "bankrupt" - that is, to be completely out of money. There will be money in Social Security as long as taxes are collected to put into the system. What is expected to happen, barring some type of reform, is that at some point in the future (and the horizon for this event depends in some measure on the state of the economy), Social Security will not have sufficient funds to pay 100% benefits. Instead, there will be sufficient funds to cover only around 75% of the benefit amount.

Why did the social security act last so long?
The Social Security Act lasted so long because it was designed as a social safety net to provide financial security for retired individuals, as well as for disabled individuals and the dependents of deceased workers. It has been able to adapt and evolve over time, making necessary adjustments to ensure its sustainability and effectiveness. Additionally, the Social Security Act has enjoyed broad public and political support, making it difficult to dismantle or significantly alter.
Are the last 4 digits of your social security number enough to obtain a credit card?
No, because many people have the same last 4 digits of their Social Security Number, so the last 4 digits don't identify one particular person. The first 3 digits of your Social Security Number identify the region, state and city of where you applied for and received your Social Security card, and therefore (in the USA) all 9 digits would be necessary to identify any one person for a credit application.
Who issues Social Security numbers?
