Data Service for Epidemiological Research

SSA also provides a data service to health researchers involved in epidemiological research. Specifically, for studies that contribute to a national health interest, SSA will inform researchers about whether a subject of the study is alive or deceased. There is a fee for this service. For more information, see "Service to Epidemiological Researchers to Provide Vital Status Data on Subjects of Health Research."
