Plain-language summary
This bill amends the Social Security Act to require the Social Security Administration to designate a single point of contact for people whose identities have been stolen.

The bill aims to simplify this process by creating one dedicated contact person or office. The bill has passed one of Congress and is now being considered by the other chamber.
