<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I believe that most mortuaries/funeral
homes in current times just automatically notify Social Security
on any death.<br>
<br>
I had a cousin who died in New Mexico in 1975 at age 33 in a
job-related accident. He was not married so there was no one
drawing on his social security but it showed up on SSDI. Don't
know who notified SSA, perhaps the State of New Mexico since it
was an occupational accident. I ordered a copy of his original
application, to verify his Mom's name because I wasn't sure which
of my cousin's wives was the mother, they blocked out the parent's
names for confidentiality because he was young enough that the
parents might still be living. If I could provide proof of death
on the parents, they would release the info but I couldn't do
that.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">There any number of reasons why a
deceased person might not be listed on the SSDI - the first
logical reason, in my mind, is this: <b><u><big>If the person
was not drawing SS when they died, there would be no
reason to notify SSA of their death, and therefore would
not be listed on the SSDI.</big></u></b> If they were
drawing SS, the SSAdmin. would have to be notified of the death
to stop the payments, so under normal circumstances the name
would then be included on the SSDI. So, if a person is missing
from the SSDI, determine whether they would have, or should
have, been drawing SS.<br>
