Social Security's COBOL Software Comes Under Scrutiny

^{Published on 2025-02-18 14:00:47 - Newsweek}

Elon Musk's investigation of federal government systems highlighted Social Security's reliance on software developed in the 1950s.

The article from Newsweek discusses the potential risks associated with the outdated COBOL software used by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Despite its reliability, the SSA's reliance on COBOL, a programming language from the 1950s, poses significant challenges due to the dwindling number of experts capable of maintaining and updating this system. The article highlights concerns raised by experts like Charles Radtke, who warns that without modernization, the SSA could face operational failures, potentially leading to issues with benefit payments. This situation has drawn attention from figures like Elon Musk, who humorously suggested on Twitter that the SSA might need to resort to using Dogecoin if the system fails. The piece also touches on the broader implications of such a failure, including economic impacts and the urgent need for technological updates in government systems.
