We've compiled a list of some of the most common deceased data cases for your reference
TrueDeceased is designed so you can upload and process your file, and then export and download your deceased data in just a few clicks. Instead of returning your whole file, we return just the records that matched to our deceased data source. This means that you could only have 4 records of export data instead of the 10,000 you processed.
While your individual use cases may vary depending on your suppression project, we have listed some of the most common deceased data cases in the chart below with examples and suggested actions.
| Case | Example | Suggested user action | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | household match at historic address | Janet's husband Jeff dies. Janet moves out of deceased household, and into a new household. Her old address has a deceased match, but her new address doesn't because Jeff is dead, not Janet. Jeff has an individual match at the historic address. Janet has a household match at the historic address. |
|
| 2 | household match at new address | Myrtle (great aunt) passes away. Danny the donor inherits home and moves in to household of deceased Great Aunt. The donor's record now lives at a deceased household, even though this donor is not deceased. There was no household match before the update, but now their is a household match. |
