The last thing victims need when seeking assistance is to rehash the details for multiple federal agents, only to hang up the phone and feel like they got the runaround,” Grassley said. “Our legislation would ensure Americans have a single point of contact at the Social Security Agency to help them navigate identify theft claims.” The bipartisan legislation 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. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |
