H.R. 5345

Improving Social Security’s Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act

Finance Committee, Ways and Means Committee · Rep. David Kustoff (R-TN)

The bill would require the Social Security Administration to establish a dedicated point of contact—a team of specially trained employees—to help people whose Social Security numbers have been misused due to identity theft. This team would track each victim's case from start to finish and work with other specialized units to resolve problems as quickly as possible.[AI-Generated]
