Original Note:
The database was written in COBOL which returns May 20, 1875 whenever a date field is empty. It is likely that the people still receiving the benefits are not over 140 years old, but rather that the database does not contain their date of birth. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/2/14/2303889/-Nope-There-are-no-150-year-olds-on-Social-Security-It-s-COBOL
