SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The social security account number is a very effective
        and powerful method of identifying individuals in modern
        society and its use must therefor be restricted if reasonable
        levels of privacy are to be maintained.
            (2) Numerous citizens concerned for their privacy have
        petitioned the Congress that use of their social security
        account numbers at all levels of government be restricted.
    (b) Declaration of Policy.--It is therefore the policy of the
Congress to restrict the use of the social security account number to
purposes most directly related to social security and other social
services.

SEC. 3. RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF SOCIAL SECURITY ACCOUNT NUMBERS.

        Secretary, or any derivitive thereof, for purposes of
        identifying the individual.
Any Federal, State, or local government agency which requests an
individual to disclose his or her social security account number shall
inform such individual whether that disclosure is mandatory or
voluntary, by what statutory or other authority such number is
solicited, and what uses will be made of it.
    ``(ii) Any State (or political subdivision thereof) may, in the
administration of any general public assistance law within its
jurisdiction, utilize the social security account numbers issued by the
Secretary for the purpose of establishing the identification of
individuals affected by such law, and may require any individual who is
or appears to be so affected to furnish to such State (or political
subdivision thereof) or any agency thereof having administrative
responsibility for such law, the social security account number (or

    Section 4241 of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (42 U.S.C.
1320a-7m) is amended--
            (1) in subsection (b)(4), by inserting ``and on civil
        recoveries, administrative actions, and criminal convictions
        for fraud'' after ``reimbursement''; and
            (2) in subsection (c), by adding at the end the following
        paragraph:
            ``(7) Implementation of amendments.--The Secretary shall
        implement amendments made to this subsection by the Stop
        Schemes and Crimes Against Medicare and Seniors (Stop SCAMS)
        Act not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of such
        Act. If the Secretary determines that new technology or data
        processing systems are required to carry out such amendments,
        the Secretary shall issue a request for proposals to carry out
        such amendments not later than 6 months after the enactment of
        such Act, and the contractors selected under such request for
        proposal shall implement such amendments not later than 12
        months after the date of enactment of such Act.''.

Output: Stop Schemes and Crimes Against Medicare and Seniors (Stop SCAMS) Act - Amends title XI of the Social Security Act with respect to standards for financial and administrative transactions and their data elements to enable the electronic exchange of health information. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adopt standards that: (1) ensure that any entity producing and transmitting valid transactions that include code sets for appropriate data elements is subject to a consistent, industry-wide framework that supports a seamless transition to new and modified code sets; and (2) establish an end-to-end testing procedure for new and modified code sets that shall require the participation of any entity producing and transmitting valid transactions that use the new or modified code set. Prohibits the Secretary from adopting a new or modified code set unless the Secretary: (1) assesses its impact on fraud prevention and pre-payment review, determines that anti-fraud edits work as intended, and confirms that a plan is in place to ensure continuing effective detection of fraud following the adoption of the code set; (2) ensures that the end-to-end testing procedure established has been completed; and (3) completes end-to-end testing with any federal government entity that produces and transmits valid transactions that include the code set with private sector tracking partners. Exempts routine, regularly scheduled updates to existing code sets from such prohibition. Directs the Secretary, with respect to information supplied to it by a disclosing entity about those with an ownership or control interest in the entity, to verify such information in a specified manner and confirm the accuracy of any Social Security account number or employer identification number. Holds immune from civil liability (in a safe harbor) any non-governmental entity participating in a Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership, including private insurers, for sharing information about potentially fraudulent providers with each other, HHS, the Department of Justice (DOJ), any other federal or state law enforcement agency, any federal or state agency contractor, and another Partnership participant. Directs the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MEDPAC) to study administrative efforts to strengthen program integrity in the Medicare program. Amends the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, with respect to the use of predictive modeling and other analytics technologies to identify and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in the Medicare fee-for-service program, to require predictive analytics technologies to capture outcome information on civil recoveries, administrative actions, and criminal convictions for fraud.
