Protects Americans' Social Security data by blocking certain officials' access and setting penalties for misuse.
This bill would protect your Social Security information by stopping political appointees and special government employees from accessing sensitive data systems. It would also let people sue for damages if their Social Security information is carelessly shared or accessed without permission. If your data is misused, you would also be notified.
Today, political appointees and special government employees can access Social Security beneficiary data systems, and there are no specific civil penalties for negligent misuse of this data. After this bill, these specific government personnel would be blocked from accessing Social Security data. Individuals whose data is misused could sue for damages, potentially receiving at least $5,000 for each violation, and would be notified of such incidents.
