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 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
