Bill > HR5345

This bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to establish a dedicated single point of contact for individuals who have experienced identity theft related to their Social Security account number or card. Specifically, the bill mandates that the SSA create a specialized team of trained employees who will be responsible for tracking and resolving an individual's identity theft case from start to finish. These employees will coordinate with other SSA units to resolve issues as quickly as possible and will be accountable for the case until it is completely resolved. The bill allows for team members to change over time, but requires the SSA to maintain continuity of records and case history, and to notify the individual of any changes. The procedures will apply to cases where a Social Security number has been misused to fraudulently obtain benefits, improperly access records, or in situations where a Social Security card has been lost during transmission. The new procedures will take effect 180 days after the bill's enactment, giving the SSA time to develop and implement the required systems and training.
