  1. 01

    How would requiring the Social Security Administration to reissue numbers for children under 14 protect them from identity theft compared to current notification procedures?

  2. 02

    What operational costs and processing delays might the SSA face if this bill requires rapid reissuance of numbers for thousands of stolen cards annually?

  3. 03

    Should this protection apply only to cards stolen in mail, or should it extend to children whose Social Security numbers are compromised through other means?
