Summary

Requires the Social Security Administration to give any person whose Social Security number was misused or whose Social Security card was lost in transmission a single, trained SSA point of contact who will track and coordinate the case until it is resolved. One section also establishes an official short title; the substantive new duty must be implemented within 180 days of enactment and does not include new funding in the text.

Key Points

• Requires SSA to assign a single point of contact for people whose SSN was misused or whose Social Security card was lost in transmission.
• Covers fraudulent benefit claims (titles II, VIII, XVI), record impacts, and requests for new SSNs tied to misuse.
• Point of contact must be a specially trained team able to track the case and coordinate across SSA.
• Team members may change, but procedures must preserve case continuity and notify the individual when appropriate.
• Takes effect 180 days after enactment.
• One section only establishes an official short title and creates no substantive duties.
• No funding or staffing levels are specified in the text; SSA must implement procedures administratively.
