istics described in clauses (i) and (ii), a dif-
ferent color or other readily distinguishable fea-

maintain an ongoing program to develop meas-
ures in relation to the Social Security card and 
the issuance thereof to preclude fraudulent use 
thereof. 
‘‘(v) The Commissioner shall provide for 
the issuance (or reissuance) of a Social Security 
card which meets the preceding requirements of 
this subparagraph to each individual who— 
‘‘(I) has been assigned a Social Secu-
rity account number under subparagraph 
(B),

applicable, in the jurisdiction in which such

‘‘(ii) Nothing in this Act may be construed 
to require the presentment of a social security

or enforcement of the social security and immi-
gration laws of the United States, or to estab-
lish the social security card as a national identi-
fication (ID) card.
