Social Security Number Fraudulent Use Notification Act of 2006

H.R. 5409, the Social Security Number Fraudulent Use Notification Act of 2006, would require the Commissioner of Social Security to notify individuals if their Social Security number appears to be being used by someone else. Specifically, the Social Security Administration would be mandated to alert a person if an employer submits wage records where the name and number do not match official records, or if there is evidence that the number is being used in a fraudulent or illegal manner. The bill is designed to provide citizens with early warning of potential identity theft or employment-related fraud, allowing them to take steps to protect their credit and personal information.
