    Social Security Administration data offers a robust sample for studying mortality differences. Researchers are linking Social Security records with death certificates to assess data accuracy for mortality research.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Biostatistics
    • Demography

    Background:

    • The Social Security Administration (SSA) database contains extensive earnings and benefit data for wage earners nationwide.
    • This dataset is valuable for studying differential mortality due to established mechanisms for reporting deaths.
    • Available variables include age, race, sex, industry, and place of employment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine differential mortality using SSA data.
    • To assess coverage and content differences between SSA records and death certificate data.
    • To conduct a preliminary comparison of SSA records against death certificates for 1975 decedents.

    Main Methods:

    • Linking SSA earnings and benefit data with death certificate data for a sample of 1975 decedents.

  • Preliminary examination of discrepancies between the two data sources.
  • Discussion of ongoing efforts to enhance data for future mortality research.

    • Main Results:

    • The SSA database provides a large, balanced sample of wage earners, suitable for mortality studies.
    • Incentives ensure deaths are reported to the SSA, making it a reliable source for mortality data.
    • A preliminary analysis of linked data for 1975 decedents is presented, highlighting differences between SSA records and death certificates.

    Conclusions:

    • The SSA data is a promising resource for differential mortality research.
    • Linking SSA data with death certificates is crucial for validating data accuracy.
    • Further efforts are underway to improve data quality for comprehensive mortality research.
