identified to be subject to unusual multiple use in the
employment eligibility verification system established under
section 274A(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1324a(d)), or that are otherwise suspected or
determined to have been compromised by identity fraud or
other misuse, shall be blocked from use for such system
purposes unless the individual using such number is able to
establish, through secure and fair additional security
procedures, that the individual is the legitimate holder of
the number.
(b) Allowing Suspension of Use of Certain Social Security
Account Numbers.--The Secretary of Homeland Security, in
consultation with the Commissioner of Social Security, shall

purposes of the employment eligibility verification system
established under section 274A(d) of the Immigration and

established under 274A(d) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a(d)). The Secretary may implement the
