Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 02/28/2002
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/05/2002
Terms of Clearance: Approved. OMB and SSA have agreed that the survey form will remain on the internet in between data-collection waves, for those states that take the initiative to update their surveys prior to the next wave of data collection. However, when SSA undertakes the next wave, they will send out emails to the States informing them of the survey, the need to update their answers, and the necessity of the update (to be used for funding decisions). SSA shall provide a copy of the email to OMB as soon as it is ready. Prior to the agency sending out the email to the States, SSA will provide information to OMB on timeframe and will also provide an updated email, if any changes have been made. (This is consistent with SSA memo dated 2/11/02).

Abstract: Section 205(R) requires SSA to enter into agreements with States to obtain death records. Section 202(a)(1)-(h)(1) require SSA to terminate Retirement, Survivors and Disability benefits upon the death of the beneficiary. This survey will measure the States' readiness to implement electronic death registration processes which will result in SSA getting death information more timely and accurately to terminate benefits as required by law.
