## Summary

**Requires Social Security numbers (SSNs) for parents and qualifying children to claim the Child Tax Credit.** The bill would restrict the credit to taxpayers and children who have SSNs issued by the Social Security Administration and would treat missing or incorrect SSNs as a mathematical error for certain tax procedures. - Families with children: Households would have to list an SSA-issued SSN for each qualifying child and for the taxpayer or both spouses on joint returns. Families that cannot provide those SSNs would be unable to claim the credit. - Noncitizen taxpayers: Eligibility is limited to SSNs issued under specific Social Security Administration rules, which narrows access for some noncitizen taxpayers who do not hold those SSA-issued SSNs. - Military families: If a spouse is a member of the Armed Forces, a joint return would require only one spouse's SSN rather than both. - Tax administration: Omission of a correct SSN related to a Child Tax Credit claim would be treated as a mathematical or clerical error for certain assessment and collection procedures.
