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.
