Excellent and specific critique. That's useful.

I would add the suggestion that the SSA webmistress
mirror the old front page (maybe indexbak.html?)
for the "grandfather" users... At least for a while.

We switched over a computer system years ago in my Army days,
and we had two parallel systems working overlap for a bit.
We thought it would be a lot more hassle than it really was.
In the end it was nice to have the redundancy for a little while...
