New Social Security Numbers for Children After Card Theft or Loss.

This law establishes a process to protect young children from identity theft. If a Social Security card issued to a child under 14 is lost or stolen during its initial transmission (e.g., mailing), parents can apply for a new Social Security Account Number (SSAN). This measure ensures that compromised numbers can be quickly replaced to safeguard the child's identity.
Key points
Allows reissuance of a new Social Security Account Number (SSAN) for children under 14.
The new number is issued specifically if the original SSAN card was lost or stolen during its initial transmission.
Parents or guardians must submit evidence of the loss or theft under penalty of perjury.
