    B027Deceased Indicator Without Supporting Status

    Consumer Information Indicator marks the consumer deceased but the account status conflicts

    Affected Field
    #33Consumer Information Indicator

    Description

    When the Consumer Information Indicator reports a consumer as deceased, the account handling should be consistent (for example, the account is typically being closed or settled). A deceased indicator paired with ongoing current-and-active reporting is contradictory and should be reviewed.

    Common Causes

    • Deceased flag set on the wrong consumer of a joint account
    • Indicator not cleared after correction

    How to Fix

    1. 1Confirm the deceased indicator applies to the correct consumer
    2. 2On joint accounts, use the J1/J2 Consumer Information Indicator for the right party
    3. 3Align account status with the reported condition
