Social Security Indexes

If you come across a Social Security number for the soldier, his spouse, or his children ALWAYS input it.

If your death source is the Social Security Death Index, select that as the source and input the number in the box that appears.

If you find the U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007, enter the Social Security number in the Remarks field of the appropriate individual's Death screen. Type SSN and the number.

We want to make sure we ALWAYS collect the Social Security number.
