Social Security Death Index question?
Shirley T asked:
I was told many years ago that someone at an LDS center told them that to be on the social security death index, a person had to be drawing social security at the time of death and on their own social security number. For instance, my mother isn’t on it because she was drawing off of my father’s.
However, now Ancestry.Com has some people on their SSDI that had not been on their previously.
I am wondering if people who go into a nursing home that never had social security, which is true of a lot of person’s in the past, if they had to get a social security number to get Medicaid to pay the nursing home and that some how this information has been released to Ancestry.Com. On the two that I saw the dates of death were not correct at all.
This could be because the nursing home furnished the information and really did not bother to be accurate. Does anyone know?
