This bill requires the Social Security Administration to create a dedicated team of specially trained employees who will serve as a single point of contact for people whose Social Security numbers or cards have been stolen or misused. The designated contact person will track each victim's case from start to finish, coordinate with other SSA departments to resolve identity theft issues, and remain accountable until the problem is solved. The legislation aims to simplify the process for identity theft victims, who currently may have to contact multiple SSA offices and repeat their information several times. The bill does not specify funding amounts but requires implementation within 180 days of enactment, with procedures in place to maintain case records and keep victims informed if their assigned contact changes. This bipartisan measure affects any American who becomes a victim of Social Security identity theft and seeks help from the agency.
