When SSA receives a report that there is an incorrect date of death on the record, the processing center (PC) (for Title II) or the field office (FO) (for Title XVI):

• •

  Determines the correct date of death;

• •

  Corrects the date of death on the record;

• •

  Determines whether any incorrect reclamations have been sent to the Department of the Treasury (DT); and

• •

  Determines whether the reclamation request(s) previously sent contained all payments made after death.

Once the correct date of death has been determined, the FO/PC:

• •

  Sends an SSA-1714, Abandon Reclamation Request– EFT, to DT for any payments made before the actual death that have been included in a reclamation request; and

• •

  Inputs manual E-stops for any payments incorrectly made after death that have not already been included on a reclamation request.
