The DMF plays an important role in preventing identity theft by allowing organizations to cross-reference deceased individuals with active accounts or benefits. By identifying deceased individuals, entities can take appropriate actions such as stopping benefit payments, closing accounts, or preventing fraudulent use of personal information.
