The Senate passed HR5345, the Improving Social Security's Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act, by unanimous consent on Sept. 17, and a message on that action was sent to the House on Sept. 18.[^2]

Congress.gov shows no amendment was attached before passage.[^1] The bill now awaits House action.

The record carries two data points and stops there: no vote count, no sponsor, no companion legislation, and no scheduled House floor date.
