with 99.9% accuracy
with countless time saved
Since 2011, the Social Security Administration has dramatically decreased the amount of data available within the Death Master File (DMF). Today, the DMF identifies only 16% of deaths, making it an unreliable source for any insurance company, healthcare institution, pension, or third-party administrator. CertiDeath® fills that gap. Using proprietary algorithms, integrated databases and human expertise, we provide a true death audit solution with validated results.
Without CertiDeath, you’re missing deaths.
Proven Performance. Unmatched Reliability.
CertiDeath is the fastest and most accurate death audit solution in the market – identifying 96.5% of decedents with 99.9% accuracy. Others only provide 70% and you still must validate. CertiDeath allows you to get it right the first time.

Upcoming Webinar: Beyond the DMF: How CertiDeath Helps Pension Plans and Insurers Strengthen Death Audits
Pension plans face increasing scrutiny to ensure payments are accurate, timely, and made only to eligible, living participants. But relying solely on the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File (DMF) can leave your fund exposed to risk. With only a fraction of deaths captured and known delays in updates, the DMF alone is no longer enough.
Enter CertiDeath: a comprehensive, validated death data solution that helps pension administrators close the gaps the DMF leaves behind. By combining SSA data with obituary records and human validation, CertiDeath delivers verified, high-confidence death matches that provides the insight needed to avoid overpayments, prevent fraud, and streamline eligibility reviews. Join us to learn real-world use cases and why proactive death audits are critical for fiduciary responsibility.
