Wyden, Colleagues Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Cut Red Tape for Victims of Identity Theft

Legislation would create a single point of contact at the Social Security Administration for identity theft cases

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ron Wyden today with colleagues introduced bipartisan legislation that would make it easier for identity theft victims to resolve their cases by creating a single point of contact at the Social Security Administration for identity theft cases. 

“Americans who have been targeted by identity theft scammers should be able to resolve their case without any bureaucratic red tape or delays,” Wyden said. “That’s why I’m working on a bipartisan basis to advance legislation that will make it easier for victims of identity theft to work with a dedicated point of contact at Social Security to resolve their issue.”

The Improving Social Security’s Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act requires the Social Security Administration to provide identity theft victims with a single point of contact to help guide them through resolving various issues within the Social Security Administration.
