SSA uses the State Death Match
Collections to ensure the accuracy of payment files by detecting
unreported or inaccurate deaths of beneficiaries. Under the Social
Security Act, entitlement to retirement, disability, wife's,
husband's, or parent's benefits terminates when the beneficiary
dies. The states furnish death certificate information to SSA via
the Manual Registration Process or the Electronic Death
Registration Process. Both processes are automated electronic
transfers between the states and SSA. The respondents are the
states' bureaus of vital statistics.
