[or-roots] lost family?

[Glen Jones]

Sue, as I said in a earlier reply, no one in the family signed 

my half brothers death certificate and it is still at the funeral 

home so even tho he was on SSI his death has not been reported 

to the State of Alaska or SSDI, that could be the case here, that 

no one took responsebility for reporting, I am not sure here in 

Oregon if the Death Certificate must be signed by a family 

member before it is reported to the State or SSDI. 

We only found out about this during a Bureau of Indian 

Affairs probate they could not get a death certificate even 

after we gave them the date of death, they contacted the 

funeral home and found out the death certificate had never 

been sign and so not filed.

I have been told that if there is no surviving spouse to receive the small death benefit ($255) that they are not listed. 



About Social Security Death Index 



The Death Master File (DMF) from the Social Security Administration (SSA) currently contains over 89 million records and is updated weekly. The file is created from internal SSA records of deceased persons possessing social security numbers and whose deaths were reported to the SSA. Often this was done in connection with filing for death benefits by a family member, an attorney, a mortuary, etc. Each update of the DMF includes corrections to old data as well as additional names. [NOTE: If someone is missing from the list, it may be that the benefit was never requested, an error was made on the form requesting the benefit, or an error was made when entering the information into the SSDI.]

But if the person never registered for Social Security, they don't get listed.  Most folks were registered by the time WW II was over though, so why not these folks?  Butch Cassidy syndrome?  Any locals still living that remember them?
