Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this subsection, the Secretary shall—

(2)
in the case that identical social security numbers are so identified under paragraph (1), take such actions as are necessary to ensure that duplicative advance payments of premium tax credits under section 1412 are not made with respect to an individual.
