Social Security Child Protection Act of 2025

This bill allows the Social Security Administration to reissue a new Social Security number to children under 14 if their card was lost or stolen, after a parent or guardian provides sworn evidence of the incident. It amends the Social Security Act to create a formal process for reissuing numbers when a child’s card was compromised during transmission. The Commissioner must issue a new number and document the loss/theft reason in the child’s records. This directly affects minors under 14 whose Social Security cards were lost or stolen before they turned 14.
