I have also been told that only people who had their death benefit paid are
listed.  I don't know.  I do know my grandfather drew Social Security but he
is not listed under any form of his name or any dates.  You don't even have
to add the dates to get info.

 Hello,
 Not all people who died are on the list, just the people who were drawing
 Social Security
 at the time of their death. My Father is not on there because he died at
>the
 age of 63 and
 was still working so his name is not there. It took me a while to figure
>out
 why he wasn't
 there. Even though my Mother drew Social Security for us from his
account,
 he is still not
 listed since he personally did not draw on it.
