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.
