Description

As the steward of taxpayer dollars, the federal government must guard against improper payments. Federal agencies may avoid paying deceased beneficiaries by matching their payment data with death data that the Social Security Administration (SSA) maintains and shares. In addition, recent legislation has established additional requirements for federal agencies to use death data to prevent improper payments. However, the SSA Office of Inspector General (OIG) has identified inaccuracies in SSAäó»s death data, which could diminish its usefulness to federal agencies. This report explores (1) how SSA obtains death reports and steps it takes to ensure death reports are accurate; and (2) factors affecting federal agency access to SSAäó»s death data. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
