WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are getting older, but not this old: Social Security records show that 6.5 million people in the U.S. have reached the ripe old age of 112.

In reality, only few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the entire world.

But Social Security does not have death records for millions of these people, with the oldest born in 1869, according to a report by the agency’s inspector general.

Only 13 of the people are still getting Social Security benefits, the report said.

Which should raise the process question - how/when does the death field get checked

When a person dies a death certificate is filed with the state they reside in.

Then the state notifies the Federal government.

And thus SS is notified along with other agencies including the IRS for example.

That is exactly what happens here in the State of Washington.
