Social Security Administration (SSA) officials testified on identity fraud and what the agency is doing to combat it, during a House Ways and Means subcommittee hearing. Margaret Hayward, one of the witnesses, spoke about the troubles she was experiencing in trying to obtain her nine-month-old baby’s Social Security number and card since the child was born.
