which explains that since September 2015 the agency has automatically stopped benefit payments when anyone reaches the age of 115.


Why not just stop paying benefits when they die?

But then the system should show these are survivor's benefits, not payments to people who are long dead.

GAAP accounting has nothing to do with this. What we have here is a failure, or absence, of basic internal controls on computer systems.

I have a friend that has spent his whole career doing COBOL programming for IBM. He makes really, really good money because no one under the age of 50 is going to take the time to learn it, and he is the last of a dying bread.


Here's my hot take.

With the rise of AI COBOL is easier to maintain now than prior to AI with old code developers.

Feed the COBOL code into a trained model and let it tell you what the code does and then ask it for changes. A human can then verify.
