Original Note:
1875 is the default date used in the social security database language of COBOL. The 150 years olds DOGE reports to have found are therefore just people whose date of birth was missing when entered into the database. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/2/14/2303889/-Nope-There-are-no-150-year-olds-on-Social-Security-It-s-COBOL
