The SSA DMF contains information on millions of deceased individuals with United States social security numbers whose deaths were reported to the Social Security Administration.
We chose DMF because of its natural origin and the fact that we could easily administer it in the diet, but there might be even better candidates for future clinical use.
On May 25 this year National Taxpayer Advocate, Nina Olson testified before the House Ways and Means subcommittee on Oversight, suggesting the DMF provides significant opportunities for identity thieves to commit tax fraud and should be limited.
