Mary, I have the same problem with the date of death of my brother. SS has him living 15 days longer than he did. I sent them a copy of the death certificate, a copy of the obiturary and funeral program. I was his legal guardina...I was with him when he drew his last and know what I say. That was in 1994. I have been trying to get this corrected ever since. And yes, this is neglience a nd error on the part of an uncaring employee, drawing good pay and benefits. However, it would take an act of congress to have them removed from their position. Former government employee. B. Wright B.
