Why would someone's name not show up in the US Social Security Death
Index? One of my aunts died in 1992. She worked for many years and had a
social security number but her name does not show up in the index.

Re: US Social Cecurity Death Index
Because there were no benefits paid to survivors?

Re: US Social Cecurity Death Index
Did she perhaps work for the Government or Railroad? I have a SS# but
was a Federal employee so have never gotten SS benefits thus will never
show up in the SSDI when I go. My late husband was also a Fed so does
not show up there.

Re: US Social Cecurity Death Index
The index shows people whose death was reported to the Social Security
Administration. If they haven't been informed, then the person will not show
up in their index.

The Social Security System has, historically, been rife with clerical and
administration errors. That has improved somewhat, but everytime I've had
to deal with those people it's been a cluster ****. My father had to
reapply for his social security four times before they finally started
sending him checks, and then ten years ago they declared him dead and
stopped sending checks. This would have been fine except that it was five
years before he actually died. It took us eight months to get them to
understand that he wasn't really dead, and pay up and start his checks
again. I don't put anything past them as far as errors go.

No, she neither worked for the government nor the railroad, although
her husband worked for the railroad at one time.

Funny ! This happened to me today actually at the library.
I looked up my great uncle and I assumed that maybe he did not
choose to do social security, since I did not find him in the SSDI.
But I searched the ancestry.com library edition today and instead
of not choosing a state, I chose a state he lived in. Lo and behold
he showed up ! I can't recall if I chose the state he was born in or
one of the other states he lived in, but it was a shock to not see
his SSDI entry if I left the state menu blank.
So if you have a library handy with ancestry.com there, then give it
a try.
Also try your relative without middle initials and with initials as
well. Also try flipping the middle name as their first name. Also
just try initials instead of the full name. A few families called their
kids J T all their life and during their adult years when they got their
SS card. But then later they were commonly called John Thomas or John T
or Thomas J etc....
