Title: Efforts to Close SSDI

More on Efforts to Close Access to SSDI

As we wrote earlier (March 7), efforts continue in Congress to close off public access to the Social Security Death Index, a very important tool for genealogists. The Massachusetts Genealogical Council (MGC), our state's umbrella organization for genealogical and historical organizations, is front-and-center in the fight to keep access to the SSDI (and other public records) available. You can read more about the issue in the MGC Sentinel. In particular, at 10:00 AM Eastern time on Tuesday, March 20, the Senate?s subcommittee on Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Growth is holding a hearing entitled "Tax Fraud by Identity Theft, Part 2: Status, Progress, and Potential Solutions." The MGC Sentinel has instructions for how you can listen to that hearing online, as well as more information about the various House and Senate bills.
