The public Social Security Death Index from the United States Social Security Administration (SSA) currently contains over 89 million death records and is updated weekly. The index is created from records of deceased persons possessing U.S. Social Security numbers, whose deaths were reported to the Social Security Administration. Often this was done in connection with filing for death benefits by a family member, an attorney, a mortuary, etc.
