The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I asked #chatgpt about the ludicrous claims made by #musk regarding #SocialSecurity payments to 150-year-old people. I believe that the reason for the appearance of people seeming to be that old is #COBOL & administrative errors/typos. I screen captured what I found.
What is COBOL, the computer system? COBOL, which stands for Common Business-Oriented Language, is a high-level programming language developed in 1959 specifically for business data processing. Designed to be operating system-agnostic, COBOL has an English-like syntax, making it accessible and readable for users. It has been widely adopted in business, finance, and administrative systems for both companies and governments. Despite its age, COBOL remains in use today, particulate in legacy systems that require maintenance and updates. (ibm.com, techtarget.com)What is COBOL, the computer system?

(ibm.com, techtarget.com)Is it possible that the 150-year-olds collecting social security are actually benefits that are being collected by surviving family members so that it only looks like they are 150 years old? While social security provides survivor benefits to eligible family members of deceased workers, these benefits are issued under the beneficiaries' own records, not under the deceased individual's social security number. Therefore, payments are not made under the name or age of the deceased. The misconception that 150-year-olds are collecting benefits likely arises from administrative errors or outdated data systems, rather than survivor benefits being misattributed to deceased individuals. For more detailed information on survivor benefits, you can refer to the social security administration's official page. (ssa.gov)
