million records and is updated weekly. The file is created
from internal SSA records of deceased persons possessing
social security numbers and whose deaths were reported to
the SSA. <big><big><font color="#cc0000">Often this was

If someone is missing from the list, it may be that
the benefit was never requested, an error was made on
the form requesting the benefit, or an error was made
when entering the information into the SSDI.]<br>

But if the person never registered for Social Security, they
don't get listed. Most folks were registered by the time WW II
