Well, is it true they found social security payments going to a 150-year-old?
Honest question, have no idea what’s fact

No, it wasn’t fact. It was the fact they couldn’t understand a specific ISO coding for a date format.

Besides that, 150 year old?? You honestly think a payment was sent to a 150 year old?? Let’s say it’s a random glitch. Who cashes it? With what ID?

Supposedly this was due to the DOB being null in the database and was interpreted as the date of Nov 7, 1858 which was the epoch for those systems.
 
Just playing devils advocate in broad strokes, but you could probably learn a lot about tax fraud if you could run analytics on all this data. Similar to all the other data they’ve been reviewing - if you grant DOGE any legitimacy then you would want to crunch as much of the income and outflow data as possible.

You could also expose every US taxpayer to levels of fraud never known in the history of man.

There isn't one single thing that couldn't be stolen, seized, or otherwise compromised with that information in the wrong hands.
 
It’s really amazing how quiet our house Republicans have become over the last few days. This won’t be popular here but I bet calla is anti-Trump within six months. HeelYeah won’t ever seriously engage. Ramrouser will never give up on his Gone With The Wind dream. And Zen willl troll endlessly and forever. But calla is a smart guy, and I genuinely think we’ll be reaching the point soon where he won’t be able to continue to defend this absolute train wreck of an authoritarian presidency.

I've said it elsewhere and I'll repeat it here. Like the rest of the Republican Party, he is in far too deep to turn back. You think folks like Lindsey Graham don't know exactly how bad Trump is? Once you mount that dragon, there is no going back.

How is the date coding so complicated that engineers who catch rockets and self drive cars can’t interpret?

It’s less that they can’t interpret it—more about them lying to you about it. Pretty much every claim of “fraud” they’ve made, as well as many of the example of “waste” have been totally bullshit propaganda.

Nope. There are no 150-year-olds on Social Security. It's COBOL!--UPDATED Feb 15

Elon Musk claimed that his team found 150-year-old people collecting Social Security! He implied there were dead people being sent benefits, with checks cashed by someone else. But no—the people getting paid are very much alive. They are collecting...

If true, raises more questions. Why so many social security numbers without birth dates? Many different versions of COBOL? Undocumented workers with fake SSNs?
