A bill to amend title II of the Social Security Act to provide for a program to systematically compare information on State death certificates with information maintained under the Social Security program in order to ensure that inappropriate benefits are not paid with respect to individuals who have died.

Amends title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) of the Social Security Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a program under which States periodically furnish the Secretary with information on the death certificates officially filed with them so that necessary corrections may be made to the beneficiary records maintained under the social security program.
