Not really social security User ID: 29877837 United States 02/02/2013 06:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for contacting the Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has never provided online access to its Death Master File (DMF) or to the death index that some vendors have created from the DMF. The record referred to as the “Social Security Death Index” is not an SSA record nor is it a record of any United States government entity. A recipient of the Death Master File created this “index.” Many Web sites offer free searches of the Social Security “death index.” However, they are all commercial Web sites and our policy generally prohibits providing a link to or recommending a commercial Web site; we cannot endorse or appear to endorse any commercial products or services and we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information they offer online. To find a Web site that provides the death index, we recommend that you use one of the common Web search sites that are available and type in “death index.” Your search should yield several sources where you can view the death index. The Social Security Administration maintains the DMF, a record of approximately 70 million deaths reported to us, in a tape format that is not searchable by the public. The DMF is not available online. The United States Department of Commerce’s National Technical Information Service (NTIS) offers a subscription service for online queries of the Death Master File through their Web site at the following Internet addresses: [link to www.ntis.gov] and [link to www.ssdmf.com] SSA produces monthly DMF updates on the first business day following the close of the calendar month. Business days do not include weekends or federal holidays. For example, a file including all updates for the month of May 2012 will be produced on Friday, June 1, 2012. A file that includes all updates for the month of June 2012 will be produced on Monday, July 2, 2012. Weekly DMF updates are produced each Friday night (or on the next business day if Friday night is a federal holiday). All update files are transmitted to NTIS within 24 hours. NTIS can advise you of the timeframe involved before they make the files available to the public. The DMF is also available for sale on either 3480 cartridge or magnetic discs, through the following address: United States Department of Commerce National Technical Information Service (NTIS) 5285 Port Royal Road Springfield, Virginia 22161 |
