Quite a deep hole SSA's dug itself into.
Interesting "According to a project plan released in August, the
facility will reach its maximum electrical distribution capacity within
four years", given increased mainframe efficiency and higher storage

"Social Security Confronts IT Obsolescence"
The agency's overburdened data center and decades-old software need to
be replaced, but a replacement facility won't be ready until 2016.

The Social Security Administration's primary data center is nearing the
end of its usefulness--its electrical system is an accident waiting to
happen, and decades-old software hampers the agency's ability to extend
its services to the Web. Social Security has a plan to replace the
overburdened facility with a modern data center, but that will be a
five-year process with challenges of its own.
