Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to assign a dedicated team of specially trained employees as a single point of contact for anyone whose Social Security number has been misused or whose Social Security card was lost in transit. The assigned team must track each case to completion and coordinate across SSA units to resolve issues quickly.
Who Benefits and How
Identity theft victims benefit by getting a consistent, accountable point of contact at SSA instead of being shuffled between departments. The dedicated team must maintain continuity of records and notify individuals of case progress.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Social Security Administration must hire or reassign specially trained staff, build case-tracking infrastructure, and implement new procedures within 180 days of enactment. This creates operational and staffing costs for the agency.
Key Provisions
- SSA must establish procedures for a single point of contact for identity theft victims
- The contact team must be specially trained and accountable for each case until resolution
- Takes effect 180 days after enactment
