Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act

This law lets the Department of the Treasury permanently access death records kept by the Social Security Administration (SSA) so the government can stop sending payments to people who have died and recover payments that were already sent by mistake. Before the SSA can list someone as deceased in its records, it must have strong evidence that the person is actually dead. If someone is wrongly marked as deceased, they can provide proof to the SSA, and the SSA can then notify other government agencies about the mistake so it can be corrected.
