Part of: President Signs Law to Curb Improper Payments via SSA Death Data Sharing

Key Points

  • This law makes it easier for different parts of the government to share information about when people die. This helps the government stop sending checks to people who have passed away.
  • By sharing this data, the government can prevent 'improper payments' before they happen. This saves taxpayer money that would otherwise be lost or very hard to get back.
  • This change is now permanent, meaning agencies like the Social Security Administration will always be able to help other departments verify if someone is still alive before sending out benefits like pensions or veterans' payments.
