What?

This website and many affiliated sites will be “censored” on January 18th, 2012 in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills currently before Congress. Our site will have a “censored” page displayed on the top of our page when you first visit. You can choose to click-through or visit the SOPA Blackout information site.

Why?

PIPA and SOPA are Anti-Piracy bills (and we would like digital piracy to end), HOWEVER, the wording of these bill drastically affects how the internet operates and will affect how we provide services to our customers. This will cause many online business unfair hardship and expense.

Please take the time to read about SOPA and PIPA. Make your opinion known.

Social Security Administration Death Master File

Published on: November 15, 2011

Effective November 1, 2011, the Death Master File provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA) will no longer contain protected state death records.

Why did the SSA make this change?

The SSA receives death reports from various sources, including family members, funeral homes, hospitals and financial institutions. As of November 1, 2011, the SSA will no longer include certain protected state death records in the Death Master File (DMF) it distributes through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) for the following reason:

Section 205(r) of the Social Security Act prohibits the SSA from disclosing state death records the SSA receives through its contracts with the states, except in limited circumstances.

What does this mean to you as a client of Quorum HR Solutions?

This change does not affect the operation or availability of Quorum HRS services. However, the content of the DMF, provided by the SSA, will be altered as follows:

The historical Public DMF contains 89 million records. SSA will remove approximately 4.2 million records from this repository.

In the previous year, 2010, the SSA shared roughly 2.8 million death records through the DMF. This number will be reduced by roughly 1 million records each year going forward.

How has this change affected Quorum HR Solutions products and services?

As previously stated no service or report will be directly impacted. However, Quorum HR Solutions urges clients to review and carefully consider how they use information from the Death Master File from the SSA as part of their screening process.

Note: Per both the SSA and NTIS, users of the DMF should always investigate and verify the death listed in the file before taking any adverse action against any individual.

You can reference the SSA FAQs on the matter by visiting http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/ci/fattach/get/601/

For additional information on governance specified in the Social Security Act, you can refer to the SSA Section 205r of the Social Security Act by visiting http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title02/0205.htm

Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Client Services on our Support page or via phone.
