Our objective was to (1) determine whether the Social Security Administration (SSA) made payments to beneficiaries and/or representative payees who were deceased according to Virginia's Department of Health, Division of Vital Records, and (2) identify non-beneficiaries in the Commonwealth's files whose death information did not appear in Agency records.
