Subject: SS Deaths Index
I recently tried the Soc Sec deaths index, to find Joseph Griswold
Carpenter's death. He was born 1894/5 in Michigan, and would have
been
alive at least until the mid-1960s. But the SS records do not show
him.
Can anyone here explain this? Would not the SS deaths include
"everyone"
whose working life extended into the 1930s (and who must by now be
deceased)?

Hello Robin;
If no death benefit was applied for/or paid then it is my
understanding that the person would not appear in the SSDI.
I could be wrong.
