Social Security Death Records

by Alan Light

Social Security death records in the United States of America are kept in the Social Security Deaths Index (SSDI). The of people close to a billion which are basically residents of the United States are reported and stored in this index such that anyone making a search or a query on any person who has been dead can find their records of death. The index is managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) who handles all the requests that are forwarded by the citizens.

The keeps only records of people that have been dead since 1962 alone. People who died before this year have no records in the death index. This is because, computerization of the the deaths did not start until this time and when the death records were eventually kept in electronic formats, the earlier records were never added.

Deaths are reported to the SS administration either when someone is notifying the administration to stop paying social security to someone that has died or when someone is trying to claim social security benefits on people who are dead. Whatever the case is, such people are required to present the certificate of deaths.

If you are looking for SS death records, it is either you go the the SS Administration or you go online to make a search. Usually, it is faster and easier when it is done online. All you will need is the name of the person you want to run a search on, preferably the last name, and the social security number of such persons. The search takes only a few seconds and if there is a record of the death, then you will get results.

This service comes with a token although some people claim to offer it for free. One thing we all know is that, you don’t have a say over whatever is free so if you really want reliable searches, then you might have to part with a few bucks.

Another thing you should know with the free services is that they don’t bother about to update their directories as it costs money to have a regularly updated database of information. Another problem is that most ( yes, many of them ) of the so called free directories are not actually free.

They will let you find for free but not until you have bought some other expensive products of their. This is why it is always better to stick with the paid services. They are cheap and you can be sure of the accuracy of the information generated for you.
