Social Security Child Protection Act of 2023

HR 3667, the Social Security Child Protection Act of 2023, allows the Social Security Administration to reissue a child's Social Security number if it was compromised before the child turned 14. Specifically, it enables parents or guardians to request a new number by submitting verified evidence (under penalty of perjury) that the original card was stolen during delivery. The bill directly affects children under 14 whose SSN was issued under specific provisions and whose confidentiality was breached via stolen cards. The key mechanism requires the Commissioner to issue a new number and document the theft in the child's records upon verified request.
