State Death Match Collections

OMB 0960-0700

SSA uses the State Death Match Collections to ensure the accuracy of payment files by detecting unreported or inaccurate deaths of beneficiaries. Under the Social Security Act, entitlement to retirement, disability, wife's, husband's, or parent's benefits terminates when the beneficiary dies. The states furnish death certificate information to SSA via the Manual Registration Process or the Electronic Death Registration Process. Both processes are automated electronic transfers between the states and SSA. The respondents are the states' bureaus of vital statistics.

The latest form for State Death Match Collections expires 2021-03-31 and can be found here.
