Summary

This bill requires the Social Security Administration to establish a single point of contact for individuals whose Social Security numbers have been misused or whose Social Security cards were lost during delivery. The single point of contact would consist of specially trained SSA employees who track cases to completion, coordinate with other agency units to resolve issues, and remain accountable for each case until it is resolved. The bill requires procedures to ensure continuity of records and case history when staff changes occur, and mandates that the individual be notified when their assigned contact changes. The amendment becomes effective 180 days after the bill's enactment.
