Social Security Index

The social security index is a record of the social security numbers for everyone who has had a social security number, and has died.

It is very useful for checking a social security number given by a person, such as a postential employee, as often people attempt to use the identity of a dead person when they are trying to commit crimes.

Also, it is often used by people who are researching family trees or local history.

However, the social security index alone is not a complete research tool. There is a lot of information that is available to the public through other official records that you will not be able to access from the social security index.

This is why I recommend using a complete public records search engine. Click on the link below to see which one I recommend above all others.
