Summary

Creates a requirement that the Social Security Administration provide a single point of contact for anyone whose Social Security number was misused or whose Social Security card was lost in transit. That point of contact will be a designated team or subset of specially trained SSA employees who will track and coordinate the individual’s case and remain accountable until resolution, with rules for staff changes and record continuity. The rule becomes effective 180 days after the law is enacted. The text does not authorize new funding or change benefits; it sets an administrative process inside SSA to improve case handling for identity-theft victims involving Social Security information.
