Abstract: When a valid agreement is in place, prison officials can use this suggested language format to attest to the identity of certain incarcerated U.S. citizens who need replacement Social Security cards. Information the prison officials provide will be taken from the official prison files and will be transcribed on their letterhead. This information will be used to establish the applicant’s identity in the Social Security card process. The respondents are prison officials that certify identity of prisoners applying for Social Security cards.
