Tips On Searching This Social Security Death Index

This Social Security Death Index is updated continuously to bring you the most up-to-date and comprehensive search tool available online.  However, due to human error, we cannot guarantee complete accuracy of the data provided by this death index.  For best searching results try entering only the name first.  If the search results are too broad, restrict the search by entering more information if known.  The more information you enter, the less results you will get.  Be sure to check for other spellings of both surnames and given names. 

And above all, remember this... Social Security was passed in 1935.  Don't expect to find very early death records here.  Most deaths will be 1962 or later however, you will find a few earlier ones including approximately 400,000 railroad retirement records 1900-1950s which have been added to this SSDI index.
