Dear Ronald: Don't know where you got this info. (Tried to find it.) Yes, the govt makes many errors -- at all levels of gvt. (My BC was in error and we only discovered when I needed to apply to college at 16 -- problem? I was listed as born a male. ah er ... Marilyn Linda a male? I thought it was hysterical; my mother was livid; but it took many months in courts to get it corrected ("I changed her diapers!!!") so I could just apply to college.). Somewhere I have an old CD w/SSDI records prior to 2010 sent w/a purchase of FTM. Perh. $70, 8 yrs ago. ----- Original Message ----- From: "RONALD SCHWARZ" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2012 8:34 PM Subject: [BW] Social Security Death Index master cd cost 10,000 buck i just read a few months ago at the Social Security site that if some one wants to buy the master cd of the deaths it cost 10,000 plus you have to get the updates to it too. so its not cheap any more. still not sure about the keeping the records where you cannot see them any more unless you pay. the people are dead but i have heard some of the records have live people numbers on it too by mistake. so that's something else the government seems not to be able to do right but now they are getting money for that info. thats it take care ronald schwarz ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
