Full Description
Date of death from administrative data. This variable also is obtained using a hierarchy
of administrative sources: (i) SSA's MBR file, (ii) the Census PCF with death information
coming from the SSA Numident and Master Death Files, and (iii) SSA's SSR file. This
variable is coded as a SAS date variable. This format gives the number of days between
the date of birth and January 1, 1960. An individual born on January 1, 1959 would
have birthdate=-365 and an individual born on January 1, 1961 would have birthdate=365.
