FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — The Social Security Administration is opening a new national data center near Frederick.
Acting Social Security Commissioner Carolyn Colvin is among the officials attending Monday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony in the unincorporated community of Urbana.
The center maintains demographic, wage, and benefit information on almost every American. It was funded by $500 million through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The center replaces an older data center at the agency’s headquarters campus in Woodlawn, near Baltimore.
