This webmaster paid $1855.00 U.S. dollars for a copy of the Death Master File, from the federal government because I could not find a free copy on line. Let me change that, and make this available to the entire internet community.

Just let me note that these are the raw files in .ZIP in plain text and are useless if you’re not a programmer. Please do not waste my bandwidth downloading something you cannot use. The entries are in order of Social Security number.

All I ask for is source credit: Social Security Death Master File courtesy of SSDMF.INFO. Fair enough?

This is the edition of 30 November 2011, just after they stopped including death residence location and death benefit payout ZIP Code information. Too bad I didn’t buy a copy sooner.

The Death Master File came on three disks and the ZIP files can be downloaded below:

Disk 1 [521.41 MEGABYTES]
Disk 2 [517.67 MEGABYTES]
Disk 3 [525.01 MEGABYTES]
