Improving Social Security's Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act
This act requires the Social Security Administration to provide a single point of contact for any individual whose Social Security number has been misused or whose Social Security card has been lost in transport. The point of contact must track cases to completion and coordinate with other units to resolve issues as quickly as possible.
The point of contact must consist of a team or subset of specially trained employees. Staffing may change provided there are procedures in place to ensure continuity of records and notify affected individuals when appropriate.

This bill has been enacted. It is law.
The record's latest action, on October 7, 2026: Became Public Law No: 119-119.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
David Kustoff (R-TN) introduced it on September 15, 2025, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.
They are 1 Republican.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
