DHS may not charge a fee for this information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DHS must comply with any safeguards that the SSA determines are necessary to protect the confidentiality of an individual's Social Security number.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, the bill requires states to remove the names of noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
