SUMMARY: 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). Section 7213(a)(1)(A) of
the IRTPA 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. The limits on replacement SSN
cards will be established prospectively, effective no later than
December 17, 2005, regardless of the date we issue final rules in the
Federal Register.
