The agency which administers the federal crop insurance program is challenging a Government Accountability Office report which says it made improper payments to people who had died.
The Risk Management Agency says that since May it has been using the Social Security Death Master File to ensure all of its payments are appropriate.
"RMA recently received approval from SSA to obtain the complete death master file which provides all federal and state reported deaths since 1936, and is prepared to integrate the complete file into the RMA computer matching system," said John Shea, RMA spokesman.
