The "Ending Improper Payments to Deceased People Act" seeks to enhance interagency coordination to prevent improper government payments. It specifically amends existing law to require the Commissioner of Social Security to provide death information to the Do Not Pay working system for its authorized uses. This data sharing is intended to facilitate the identification and prevention of payments to ineligible recipients, particularly deceased individuals. The bill mandates a cooperative arrangement for this information exchange, ensuring compliance with existing data sharing requirements. The provisions of this Act are slated to take effect on December 28, 2026 , aligning with a conforming amendment to a previous law.
