Our objective was to (1) determine whether the Social Security Administration (SSA) made payments to beneficiaries and representative payees who were deceased according to Delaware's Office of Vital Statistics and (2) identify non-beneficiaries who were deceased according to the State file but whose death information did not appear in SSA's records.
