You’re Not Alone – And You Have Rights

At The Good Law Group, we’re hearing from more and more individuals who’ve been shocked to learn that the Social Security Administration (SSA) has marked them as deceased. This isn’t just a clerical error—it’s a devastating mistake that can shut off your access to work authorization, freeze your bank accounts, cancel your benefits, and damage your credit and reputation. If this has happened to you or someone you know, you may be entitled to legal relief.

Common Signs You’ve Been Wrongly Classified as Deceased:

  • Your Social Security Number suddenly stops working
  • You’re told your benefits have been terminated
  • Your employer is notified you’re no longer eligible to work
  • Your bank account is frozen or closed
  • Credit agencies mark your status as deceased
  • You receive a notice from SSA stating you’ve been removed from active records

These errors often affect immigrants who were legally working in the U.S. under temporary protections or humanitarian programs. In some cases, individuals with valid work permits and Social Security Numbers have been reclassified into the SSA’s death database—causing massive disruptions in their lives.

Why This Matters

When SSA classifies a living person as deceased, the consequences can be immediate and life-altering:

  • Loss of income: You can’t legally work without a valid SSN.
  • Frozen finances: Banks and credit agencies rely on SSA records, which can impact your ability to access funds or apply for loans.
  • Loss of benefits: Social Security, Medicare, and other federal benefits may be canceled.
  • Emotional stress: Being told you’re “dead” by a government agency is terrifying and disorienting.

What You Can Do

If your Social Security Number has been deactivated or you’ve been incorrectly listed as deceased, time is of the essence. Our firm may be able to help you:

  • File an administrative appeal with SSA
  • Contact the Office of the Inspector General or other oversight bodies
  • Pursue legal action to restore your status and recover damages
  • Explore class action options with others affected

We understand the sensitive and urgent nature of these situations, especially when they impact your immigration status, livelihood, and access to vital services.
