The budget bill that was signed into law last week provides for the partial closure of the Social Security Death Index. The law states that deaths cannot be reported on the SSDI until 3 years after their occurrence. The bloggers writing about this believe that current records on FamilySearch, Ancestry, etc. will still be available.
Do read Judy Russell's blog at www.legalgenealogist.com to find out details of the law and its consequences. The comments below her posting also add valuable information for anyone who has used the SSDI or who had plans to access that information in the future. Included in the comments is a link to another post explaining in detail the process for ordering social security information about your ancestors.
