Victims of Social Security identity theft would get a single contact person.

If your Social Security number is misused or your card is lost, this bill would give you one person at the Social Security Administration to help you. This contact would guide you through solving your case, making the process clearer and faster. It aims to make resolving identity theft issues with your Social Security records simpler.

What Would Change

Today, if your Social Security number is misused or your card is lost, there is no single person at the Social Security Administration assigned to help you. After this bill, the Social Security Administration would set up a system where you would have one specific contact person or team to guide you through resolving your identity theft case from start to finish.

Key Provisions

Requires the Social Security Administration to create a single point of contact for people whose Social Security number has been misused.
Requires this contact to track identity theft cases until they are resolved.
Requires the contact to be a team of specially trained employees.
Requires procedures to ensure case history continues even if the specific employee changes.
Takes effect 180 days after becoming law.
