Social Security Number Fraud and Identity Theft Prevention Act

Congressman Mike Coffman: “Mr. Speaker, millions of Americans are hurt by identity theft every year. My legislation, The Social Security Number Fraud and Identity Theft Prevention Act of 2009, HR 2472, will enable the Social Security Administration to work with the Department of Homeland Security in searching for records to identify individuals and employers who are using false names, false Social Security numbers, multiple individuals using the same Social Security number, the fraudulent use of Social Security numbers taken from dead people and individuals who had applied and received a Social Security number, but who are not legally entitled to work in the United States.

According to the most recent national survey by the Federal Trade Commission, 8.3 million adults in the United States were victims of identity theft and 1.8 million adults in the US reported their personal information fraudulently used by somebody else.

This legislation HR 2472 will end a bureaucratic loophole that keeps Federal agencies from cooperating in the fight against identity theft and I strongly urge its passage.”
