People are speculating that is what happened but even if that is the case what idiots are missing is the fact that there are people in the system without a DOB entered. Do you not see how that is also bad and pure incompetence and open to fraud?

Claiming this is a Cobol default issue is not the gotcha many think it is if you consider the above

Do you get a kick out of everyone here thinking you’re suffering from Alzheimer’s?

Yea it’s one of two things -


1) incomplete files getting paid - not great


2) SS started in the 1930s meaning someone never deleted and carried forward through a few iterations could be showing as 150 I guess

Yeah I'm sure it was just a computer error and there's no fraud in SS...

they haven’t taught Cobalt at most of the respected MIS/CIS/CS programs since the mid-2000’s. Congrats on being old. This is a dumb thread.

eta: also, if you at one point knew the basics of Cobalt. These kids could probably learn it overnight if they haven’t already.

One of the guys decoded some fricking scrolls. I think they could pick up a coding language pretty quick..

But yea that's the argument. Not the fact that illegal aliens are on social security. Including some of rh Afghanistan refugees.

DOGE is auditing social security and found out there was an alarming amount of people over the age of 120 years old still receiving SS.


This not rare… or at least I’ve heard of it( two aunts retired from social security office)… if a 80 year old marries a 30 year old they could possibly receive that person SS check a 150 years after they were born if they live to be a 100

That's what Musk claimed, with no evidence other than a picture of a spreadsheet. Of course, he has every reason to claim that he's found this problem since he gets to be the hero who solves it.

But the math doesn't really add up and shows this is some kind of spreadsheet error because if you do the average payouts for the number on the list it far exceeds the sum payout.

Short answer, sure, there's fraud somewhere but it's likely nowhere near the level he would have you believe in that post.

Elon confirmed today two things that blow the Cobol programming issue theory out of the water

There are people older than 150 meaning the default date was not 1875 which is what the whole Cobol theory is based on

And that these people are still checked as alive in the system when that is impossible

It came out today that there are 334 million citizens vs 394 million active SS numbers. Some of that is fraud from illegals but it's also possible that some of it is the 150 year olds still in the system and marked as alive.

Imagine hating a guy trying to stop politicians from robbing us.

Everyone should be for eliminating the waste no matter how they vote. Its insane to me that people are just OK with funding tranny classes in Ethiopia at our expense.
