Madeline-Michelle Carthen, a Missouri resident, says she was declared deceased over 15 years ago and has struggled ever since to prove she is still alive.

People line up outside the Social Security Administration office February 2, 2005, in San Francisco, California.

"As part of a data-sharing agreement with SSA, that erroneous death report is provided to the agency without proof and is posted to the numident. Mary’sbenefits are suspended, and she would need to visit her local field office to have the error corrected. She would be given a letter from SSA to share with banks and other entities that states she is alive and has been mistakenly recorded on the DMF," it continued.

According to NBC's report, Carthen reached out to the SSA and obtained a death erroneous letter to hand over to creditors as proof she was still alive, but her problems didn't cease.
