Key Points
- Lets parents get a new Social Security number for a child under 14 if the card was lost or stolen while being mailed
- A parent or guardian must send proof and sign a sworn statement to show the number was exposed during delivery
- The Social Security office will note the loss or theft in the child’s record to help prevent future misuse
- This aims to cut the risk of child identity theft that can hurt credit or cause tax and loan problems later
- Rules start about 6 months after it becomes law, so families would see this option after that date
