Phone: Mortality Closeout
SMORT- Sibling Mortality Closeout Module OVERVIEW The mortality closeout module is administered when an informant informs us that the sibling we are trying to reach is no longer living. After establishing the relationship of the informant to the sibling we administer a short module to collect data mainly involving updates the sibling's last employment information, and information on the death itself.
