It has been my experience that the funeral director will mail a copy of the
certified death record to the Social Security Administration and it is up to
the Social Security Administration to put the number on the SSDI. There
could be some extenuating circumstances which might preclude placing the
number on the SSDI. The surviving widow might be using the same number or
there could be some minor children receiving benefits from this decedent's
work record.

Alvie-

While the widow or minor children (or even some other dependents) could be
receiving benefits on the account of a deceased wage earner, they are not
*using* the account. They have their own SS numbers by which they are identified
for bank and earnings records. This is not a reason for a deceased wage
earner not appearing on the SSDI.

I receive benefits on my deceased husband's SS account and he is still
listed in the SSDI--it doesn't pose any security risks to me because my bank
accounts and IRS dealings are all on my own SS number which is kept private.
