Relocating Social Security's Central Computer Operations

Gao ID: HRD-81-134 September 1, 1981

As part of a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Social Security Administration's (SSA) systems development plans and monitored the agency's efforts to relocate its central computer facility from its present location to a newly constructed computer center building.

For the most part, SSA has done a good job recently in planning and managing relocation activities. However, SSA will soon begin undertaking increasingly risky relocation activities as it moves its service-related automatic data processing workloads and systems. GAO believes SSA can take further precautions to ensure that these activities do not disrupt daily SSA operations and service to the public.
