Effective immediately, the FOIA provides no protection at all to deceased individuals.

FOIA: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps9/eFOIA-FEWeb/internet/main.jsp https://secure.ssa.gov/apps9/eFOIA-FEWeb/internet/main.jsp HIPAA: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/rpt/2013-R-0124.htm http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/rpt/2013-R-0124.htm It seems HIPAA enacts a 50-year period of silence.
