An authorized federal officer or employee's legal finding that a person died is enough proof of death for certain government-obligation transactions. This allows the proper credit in a Federal Reserve bank's or Treasury official's accounts.
A death finding made by a legally authorized federal officer or employee is sufficient proof of death to allow a credit in the accounts of a Federal Reserve bank or an accountable Treasury official. This applies when government obligations are transferred, exchanged, reissued, redeemed, or paid, including government-guaranteed obligations for which the Secretary of the Treasury acts as transfer agent.
A finding of death made by an officer or employee of the United States Government authorized by law to make the finding is sufficient proof of death to allow credit in the accounts of a Federal reserve bank or accountable official of the Department of the Treasury in a case involving the transfer, exchange, reissue, redemption, or payment of obligations of the Government, including obligations guaranteed by the Government for which the Secretary of the Treasury acts as transfer agent.
