SSA Death Process Notices (for both EDR and Manual Process)


The Death Alert Control and Update System (DACUS) receives death records from State Bureaus of Vital Statistics and other entities. The records undergo a series of checks before they are accepted for processing. Duplicates, records with invalid State Codes, those that fail surface edits and those with incorrect Social Security Numbers (SSNs) are rejected.


When death records are submitted by a State, notices are returned showing the numbers of records input, processed and rejected, in addition to other data. These reports are called SSA Death Process Notices.


SSA receives death records from participating EDR States. These records go through an online SSN verification check prior to submission to SSA. EDR records that pass the online SSN verification are referred to as “verified EDR” records. EDR records that do not pass the online SSN verification are referred to as “unverified EDR” records. In addition, SSA continues to accept death records that do not go through the EDR or online SSN verification processes. These records are referred to as “non-EDR” records.


SSA DEATH PROCESS NOTICE FOR (State) – VERIFIED EDR

This notice gives totals for verified EDR records when they are submitted. See a facsimile of the notice in appendix A for EDR submissions.


SSA DEATH PROCESS NOTICE FOR (State) – UNVERIFIED EDR & NON-EDR

This notice gives totals for unverified EDR and non-EDR records. See a facsimile of the notice in appendix B for manual process submissions.


When verified EDR records are input for processing, the SSA DEATH PROCESS NOTICE for VERIFIED EDR will be available on the first business day following the processing date.


When unverified EDR and non-EDR records are input for processing, the SSA DEATH PROCESS NOTICE for UNVERIFIED EDR & NON-EDR will be available on the third business day following the processing date. This is because records with unverified SSNs go through an SSN verification process prior to input to DACUS and this requires extra processing days. When multiple types of records are input on the same processing date, the notices will reflect the same PROCESSING DATE entry, even though they are produced on different days.


Example - On Monday 02/05/2007, a file is received from a State containing 1,000 death records. Of these, 600 are verified EDR records, 300 are unverified EDR records and 100 are non-EDR records.


The SSA DEATH PROCESS NOTICE FOR (State) - VERIFIED EDR will be available on Tuesday, 02/06/2007. This will include totals for the 600 verified EDR records.


The SSA DEATH PROCESS NOTICE FOR (State) - UNVERIFIED EDR & NON-EDR will be available on Thursday, 02/08/2007. These reports will include totals for the remaining records submitted on 02/05/2007.


All reports will show 02/05/2007 as the PROCESSING DATE.

UNVERIFIED EDR REPORT COUNTS BY YEAR:

REPORT COUNTS BY YEAR are shown for UNVERIFIED EDR records where the DOD occurred in the current year or in one of the two years prior to the current year. For records where the DOD falls in this range, DACUS counts the number of UNVERIFIED EDR records INPUT, PROCESSED and EXCEPTED. Counts for records where the DOD occurred more than two years prior to the current year and records that error out because they do not pass DOD edits (i.e., error code 13 – UNV-EDR DATE OF DEATH) are not included in this section. In addition, the percentage of records that could not be processed is shown in the ERROR RATE.


For each year:

INPUT

The total number of UNVERIFIED EDR records input where the DOD occurred during that year

PROCESSED

The total number of UNVERIFIED EDR records processed where the DOD occurred during that year

EXCEPTED

The total number of UNVERIFIED EDR records that were not processed due to exception conditions where the DOD occurred during that year

NON-EDR REPORT COUNTS BY YEAR:

For records where the DOD falls in this range, SSA counts the number of NON-EDR records INPUT, PROCESSED and EXCEPTED. Counts for records where the DOD occurred more than two years prior to the current year and records that error out because they do not pass DOD edits (i.e., error code 03 – NON-EDR DATE OF DEATH are not included in this section. In addition, the percentage of records that could not be processed is shown in the ERROR RATE.


For each year:

INPUT

The total number of NON-EDR records input where the DOD occurred during that year

PROCESSED

The total number of NON-EDR records processed where the DOD occurred during that year

EXCEPTED

The total number of NON-EDR records that were not processed due to exception conditions where the DOD occurred during that year

ERROR RATE

The percentage of NON-EDR records that contained exception conditions where the DOD occurred during that year


An example of the UNVERIFIED EDR & NON-EDR REPORT COUNTS BY YEAR is shown below.


EXAMPLE – a state submits a total of 10 UNVERIFIED EDR and NON-EDR records with the dates of death shown below:


Unv-EDR record with DOD 01012004

Unv-EDR record with DOD 01012005

Unv-EDR record with DOD 01012006
