The problem

The gap that fraud exploits

Identity thieves use the details of deceased people to apply for jobs, especially remote roles, and to run payroll and tax fraud. Standard background checks confirm the identity is real but not whether the person is alive.

Common challenges

Applicants using the identity of a deceased person
Payroll and tax fraud tied to deceased identifiers
Background checks that verify identity but not living status
Onboarding teams without access to fresh death data

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why would an employer verify if someone is deceased?

Identity thieves use deceased people's details to obtain employment and commit payroll or tax fraud. Adding a death verification step confirms that a candidate's identity does not belong to a deceased person.
