Social Security comes out of the "SS Trust Fund", so is off budget?

Something about Google prevents me from posting links here.
If your do a search on Federal Budget Pie Chart you will find examples
where 50-55% is labeled for entitlements that always include social
security.
I had a good link, but for some reason I couldn't post it.
Maybe the charts are "federal expenditure" vs. federal budget.
They're easy to find
I thought we had a Social Security Trust Fund. Seems as if a lot of posters
here were telling us that. I guess, I was just mis informed.
