Accurately identifying and removing deceased individuals from customer or mailing lists is essential for maintaining responsible data practices. When organizations continue sending communications to people who have passed away, it can create emotional distress for surviving family members, damage brand reputation, and lead to unnecessary complaints. Beyond the ethical considerations, outdated records also reduce the effectiveness of outreach campaigns and distort performance metrics, making it harder for a business to understand how well its efforts are working.
Deceased Flag Process Your Lists Today.
Our Deceased Flag processing is uniquely powerful. In addition to the SSA Deathmaster, NCOAsource has combined multiple state and federal deceased file sources (historical SSA records, for example, plus Credit Bureau source identity data, various levels of state records, as well as additional federal agency data, such as the US Department of Health and the Office of the Inspector General amongst others).
Deceased Flag is an integral part of good data hygiene.
Regular data hygiene significantly increases the value of a customer list by ensuring the information it contains is accurate, current, and actionable. When deceased individuals and other invalid records are removed, the remaining data becomes far more reliable for targeting, analytics, and strategic planning. Campaigns perform better, response rates improve, and insights generated from the data more accurately reflect real customer behavior—making the list a stronger, more dependable asset.
Deceased record processing isn’t flawless nationwide. Even the primary source—the SSA Death Master File—has gaps. For example, if a family never files for Social Security benefits, or if benefits are sent to an address that doesn’t match the individual’s last known residence, the record may not appear. Our deceased-flagging service is highly accurate, but it’s important to understand that all systems rely on data with inherent limitations.
