[Infowarrior] - New SSN Card Reissue Guidance

[Richard Forno]

SUMMARY: The interim final rules published at 70 FR 74649, on December
16, 2005, are adopted as final with only minor changes. These
regulations reflect and implement amendments to the Social Security Act
(the Act) made by part of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), Public Law (Pub. L.) 108-458. Section
7213(a)(1)(A) of Pub. L. 108-458 requires that we limit individuals to
three replacement SSN cards per year and ten replacement SSN cards
during a lifetime. The provision permits us to allow for reasonable
exceptions from these limits on a case-by-case basis in compelling
circumstances. This provision also helps us to further strengthen the
security and integrity of the SSN issuance process.

DATES: These regulations are effective December 16, 2005.
