The "Social Security Death Index" is a database created from the Social Security Administration's Death Master File and the only nationwide death index available. This is an index of deceased individuals whose deaths were reported to the Social Security Administration. It has been kept since 1962, when operations were computerized. The index includes a few deaths from 1937 to 1961, about 50 percent of deceased persons from 1962 to 1971, and about 85 percent of deceased persons from 1972 to 2005. | The "Social Security Death Index" is a database created from the Social Security Administration's Death Master File and the only nationwide death index available.
