The two agencies are to agree how the cost of State death data is shared
What the document says“enter into an agreement based upon an agreed upon methodology, which covers the proportional share of State death data costs, which the Commissioner of Social Security and the agency operating the Do Not Pay working system may periodically review”
The second sentence of the new paragraph (11). While the data described in the first sentence is being provided, the Commissioner of Social Security and the agency operating the Do Not Pay working system are to enter into this agreement. It rests on an agreed upon methodology, it covers the proportional share of State death data costs, and the two may periodically review it. The Act does not set the methodology, name a share, or say what follows if no agreement is reached.
What the document actually says“enter into an agreement based upon an agreed upon methodology, which covers the proportional share of State death data costs, which the Commissioner of Social Security and the agency operating the Do Not Pay working system may periodically review”
The two offices must sign a deal. It sets how much of the cost each one pays. They may look at it again from time to time.
States charge for the death records they send. Someone has to pay that bill. The deal splits it. The law does not say how they must work the split out.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
