If he has a SS# they'll have an application. The index only includes those who filed for death benefits. Doesn't mean they don't have an application.

I received my grandfather in-laws death certificate. There is a Social Security number on it but he died in 1943 so would never have collected and is therefore not on the death list. Would his application still be on file?
