As a simple analogy, if SS had individual accounts, money I deposited in the early '60's would have been accumulating interest for me for 40 years before I started withdrawing it. Maybe they even bought some Zeros in the late 70's for cheap, and earned about 17% on them for 30 years, like I did in my IRA.
