SSA uses form SSA-723 to collect
information that will enable the Agency to determine if a missing
and presumed-dead wage earner is in fact deceased. Based on the
outcome of that determination, SSA can award the appropriate
benefits to the presumed-dead wage earner's survivors. The
respondents are relatives, friends, neighbors, or acquaintances of
the presumed-dead wage earner or the person who is filing for the
wage-earner's survivors benefits.
