Social Security Number Fraud Prevention Act of 2017 Implementation

摘要

The Department of Veterans Affairs is amending its regulations implementing the Privacy Act. These revisions clarify and update the language of procedural requirements pertaining to the inclusion of Social Security account numbers (SSN) on documents that the Department sends by mail. These revisions are also required by the Social Security Number Fraud Prevention Act of 2017, which restricts the inclusion of SSNs on documents sent by mail by the Federal Government.
