It has been said that the various codes in the SSDI have no meaning to anyone using the SSDI and are internal SSA codes. In looking for someone I found two: XX953 (U.S.Consulate: CANADA) and VA. I wonder if XX953 may tell the location of the conusate that reported the death and if VA means Vetern's Administration and that the person died in a VA Hospital. bob gillis bob gillis <rpgillis@bellatlantic.net>
