S. Social Security Administration's Death Master File more help http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ssdi/ Records potentially available from Social Security Administration (SSA) include the application for a Social Security Number (form SS-5) and information from the "claims folder" for past recipients of benefits. The SSA sends one of two documents. The first is a photo-reproduction from microfilm of the original application. It contains the person's name, date and place of birth, and parents' names, as they were given when the person applied for the number. The second is referred to as a Numident printout, which is sent if the microfilm is no longer available. This printout may not contain all the information you would get in the original application. http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ssdi/contact.html Where does the SSDI come from? The following timeline offers a brief history of the SSDI: 14 Aug 1935 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs the Social Security Act into law. 1936-1937 Approximately 30 million U.S. residents apply for and receive Social Security numbers. 1 Jan 1937 Workers begin acquiring credits toward old-age insurance benefits, and payroll tax (FICA) withholding begins. 1947 Application for Social Security number no longer includes employer information. 1962 Electronic requests for benefits become commonly used, resulting in what is known as the Social Security Death Index. more http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/vital/ssdi/faq.aspx good luck -- Beta blogger http://nanowrimo3.blogspot.com/ visiting my past http://hughw36-2.blogspot.com/ re-entry http://snaps4.blogspot.com/" photographs and walks old blogger http://hughw36.blogspot.com/ MAIN BLOG
