COBOL SSN Checker Demo

Welcome to the official demo page for the COBOL SSN Age Checker created by Josh from KeepItTechie. This project demonstrates how legacy government systems — like those still using COBOL — can contain inaccurate data, such as people over 150 years old who are still listed as "alive."

The demo is built using GnuCOBOL and runs on modern Linux systems. It reads a flat file database and flags any records missing a date of death for individuals born more than 150 years ago. This kind of legacy behavior is commonly misunderstood and used to push false claims of fraud in systems like Social Security.

All SSN data used in this demo is 100% fake and for educational purposes only.
