"It is a $6.6 billion overhaul responsible for the eventual delivery of over $1.6 trillion in statutory benefits over its first decade."

Brilliantly written article. Describing our bureaucracy at its best.

As an individual who's implemented controls projects in industrial environments, I can appreciate the sort of "bumpless transfer" requirements that shape the way a roll-out is done. What you describe here is an undertaking of mammoth proportions. Ensuring people receive their benefits so they can pay for their roof, food, clothes, water, heat and comms (phone, net) is about as high stakes as it gets.

Obviously lessons were learned from the Phoenix pay debacle and management has put those lessons to good use.

Like Ken said - brilliantly written…motivated to move to Founding Member because of it.
