Social Security Association (NTIS) - DMF - ExpectID

The Supplier Data used to provide the Dataset is provided by GBG’s Supplier. GBG is obliged under the terms of its agreement with its Supplier to ensure that all Customers agree to comply with the following licencing provisions:

1. DEFINITIONS
1.1. In these Additional Terms, the following definitions shall apply, in addition to the definitions set out in the Agreement:
Permitted Purpose” means the purposes, restrictions and or conditions for use of the Dataset outlined by the Supplier as set out in these Additional Terms below in addition to the restrictions set out in the Agreement.

2. USE OF THE DATASET
2.1. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that:
(1) The Death Master File (“DMF”) does have inaccuracies and the SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (“SSA”) DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF THE DMF.
(2) SSA does not have a death record for all deceased persons. Therefore, the absence of a particular person on the DMF is not proof that the individual is alive. Further, in rare instances it is possible for the records of a person who is not deceased to be included erroneously in the DMF.
(3) If an individual claims that SSA has incorrectly listed someone as deceased (or has incorrect dates/data on the DMF), the Customer must request the individual to contact their local Social Security office (with proof) to have the error corrected. The local Social Security office will: (a) make the correction to the main NUMIDENT file at SSA and give the individual a verification document of SSA's current records; or (b) find that SSA already has the correct information on the main NUMIDENT file and DMF (probably corrected sometime prior), and give the individual a verification document of SSA's records.
2.2. The Customer warrants that it shall not take any adverse action against any individual without further investigation to verify the death listed.
2.3. The Customer warrants that it will not use this Dataset for any reason outside of the Permitted Purpose.
