Report Fraud to the Hotline

What is the Fraud Hotline?

Questions about Social Security Benefits

The Fraud Hotline cannot assist individuals with questions about their Social Security account, requests for new or replacement Social Security number (SSN) cards, or issues involving the granting or denial of benefits. These issues can be addressed by contacting SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (toll free) or by visiting SSA's website at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/reach.htm.

Medicare or Medicaid Fraud

In addition, if you wish to report Medicare or Medicaid fraud, please contact the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General at 1-800-447-8477, or visit their website at http://oig.hhs.gov/hotline.html.

Identity Theft

The use of your Social Security number by someone else to obtain credit, loans, telephone accounts, or other goods and services should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC collects complaints about identity theft from those whose identities have been stolen. Although the FTC does not have the authority to bring criminal cases, the FTC can help victims of identity theft by providing information to assist them in resolving the financial and other problems that can result from this crime. The FTC puts your information into a secure consumer fraud database and may, in appropriate instances, share it with other law enforcement agencies and private entities, including any companies about which you may complain. You can reach the FTC directly by calling toll-free at 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). The FTC can also be reached at its website at www.consumer.gov/idtheft.

The Social Security Administration cannot fix your credit record if someone has misused your Social Security number (SSN) to obtain credit. To resolve your credit problems, you need to contact the institution that authorized the credit and/or issued the credit card, as well as the major credit reporting agencies. Obtain a copy of your credit report and ask that an alert be placed on your credit record requiring that you be contacted before credit is extended using your name and SSN. The three major credit reporting agencies are

Blue Bullet Equifax - 1-800-525-6285
Blue Bullet Trans Union - 1-800-680-7289
Blue Bullet Experian - 1-888-397-3742

Work with each credit bureau, creditor, employer and government agency involved to remove inaccurate information from your records. You should continue checking your credit report annually for inaccuracies. Keep copies of your correspondence, records of your telephone calls and other documents verifying your efforts to correct the problem.

Under certain circumstances, SSA may assign you a new SSN if, after making all efforts to resolve the problems caused by someone else's misuse of your SSN, you are still being disadvantaged by the misuse. There is no guarantee that a new number will resolve your problem.

A new SSN will NOT be assigned to you if you

Blue Bullet Are trying to avoid the law or your legal responsibility.
Blue Bullet Intend to avoid disclosure of a poor credit or criminal record when you are at fault.
Blue Bullet Have no proof that someone else caused the problem.
Blue Bullet Have lost your Social Security card or it was stolen but there is no evidence that your SSN is being misused and you are being disadvantaged.

If you can document that you are being disadvantaged because of the misuse of your SSN, visit your local SSA field office to request a new SSN, or contact SSA directly at 1-800-772-1213.

SSA is the only agency authorized to issue an SSN and, if you are eligible, no fee is charged. Any private concern that offers to obtain a new SSN for a fee is most likely bogus and will provide no real service. In addition, the number they supply may be fraudulent and your use of such a number could be a crime.
What Do I Need to Know When Contacting the Hotline?

The information you provide to us is very important and we encourage you to provide details about your complaint. To act on your allegation, we need you to provide as much identifying information as possible regarding the suspect, victim, and the details of what occurred. The more you can tell us, the better chance we have of determining whether a crime has been committed. Your information should include the following:

Check mark Who committed the Fraud? (Include Suspect Name, SSN, Date of Birth,
Address, and Telephone Number)

Check mark Who the Victims are? (Include Victim Name, SSN, Date of Birth, Address, and
Telephone Number)

Check mark What exactly did the suspect do?

Check mark Where did the fraud take place?

Check mark When did it happen?

Check mark How was the Fraud committed?

Check mark Do you know why the person committed the fraud?

Check mark Who else has knowledge of the potential violation?
May I Remain Anonymous?

Yes. Please keep in mind that, if you choose to remain anonymous, our inability to contact you may limit our ability to conduct a complete investigation.
Will my Identity Remain Confidential?

In some instances, informants may believe that the disclosure of their identities may create problems or place them in danger. We will protect the identity of complainants to the maximum extent allowed by law and only release your identity to those officials who have a need to know. Specifically, Section 7(b) of the Inspector General Act of 1978 precludes the IG from disclosing the identity of a Social Security employee who reports an allegation or provides information, without the employee's consent, unless the IG determines that disclosure is unavoidable during the course of the investigation. Non-SSA employees who report allegations may also request confidentiality.
What Can I Expect if I Make a Report to the Hotline?

We are very interested in the information you have regarding fraud in SSA programs. If you send us your complaint by US mail or fax, we will send you an acknowledgement letter if you have provided us with your mailing address. If you send us an allegation by email, an acknowledgement will be sent automatically to the email address you provide to us on your complaint. However, we cannot provide information regarding what action we have taken on any allegation reported to our office. Federal regulations prohibit the disclosure of information contained in law enforcement records even to the individual making the allegation. Unless you are contacted directly by one of our investigators, there will be no further communication from our office. Under no circumstances will we provide you with the "status" of action taken on the allegation.

If you are an SSA employee, SSA may not take action against you solely because of your submission of an allegation to the SSA OIG hotline. Federal laws protect employees from reprisals by their employers for "blowing the whistle" on illegal activity.
