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 (Treasury); and
-
•
Determines whether the reclamation request(s) previously sent contained all payments
made after death.
