Bill > S1666

This bill establishes a dedicated single point of contact at the Social Security Administration (SSA) for individuals who have experienced identity theft involving their Social Security number or card. Specifically, the bill requires the SSA Commissioner to create procedures ensuring that victims of Social Security account number misuse—such as fraudulent benefit claims or unauthorized record modifications—will be assigned a specialized team of trained employees who will track and coordinate the resolution of their case from start to finish. These dedicated employees will work across different SSA units to resolve issues as quickly as possible and will be held accountable for the case's resolution. The bill allows for team membership to change over time, but mandates that procedures are in place to maintain continuity of case records and to notify the affected individual of any significant changes. The new procedures will take effect 180 days after the bill's enactment, giving the SSA time to develop and implement the required support system for identity theft victims.
