HR 5348 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Social Security Child Protection Act of 2025
Summary
This bill amends the Social Security Act to allow children under age 14 to receive a new Social Security Account Number if their original card was lost or stolen during delivery and the confidentiality of their number has been compromised. Parents or guardians can request a new number by submitting evidence under penalty of perjury to the Social Security Administration demonstrating that the card was lost or stolen. Upon receiving such evidence, the Commissioner of Social Security is required to issue a new account number to the child. The Commissioner is also required to maintain a record of the information provided about the lost or stolen card. The provisions take effect 180 days after the bill is enacted.
