Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

      First you need to log into your social security account. If you have never done this is can be a bit cumbersome, but better to get it figured out now than later. Then once you have been able to log in to “my Social Security” you will see a “Your Social Security Statement” on that landing page. It will allow you do download a PDF that has your projected benefit and your earnings records by work year.
