I fully expect them to celebrate launch day by taking a sledgehammer to the old machine like that scene from Office Space. All I can say is that I really hope the SSA has been virtualizing their old COBOL applications and not running them on an ancient mainframe.
Someone at work was saying people should download their work records from the ssa web portal before they mess it up/lose it.
Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll make a full backup before they do something as drastic as try to re-write the system. /s

I just tried to check that out and got “online service not available”
I’m sure they have their remaining engineer on the job and it will be back soon o_-
Imagine the overload on the systems as everyone rushes to do just that…
