Babies born in the U.S. this week through the end of the year will receive a Social Security card bearing the Freedom 250 logo to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, the Trump administration announced Wednesday.

“The next generation of Americans born during this historic year will receive limited-edition Social Security cards bearing the Freedom 250 logo. Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, we are strengthening Social Security, improving service, and building an SSA to serve Americans today and in the future,” Social Security Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano said in a statement.

The limited-edition Social Security cards will be issued only to infants born from July 2 to Dec. 31. Any replacement or duplicate cards ordered in that time will not be printed with the Freedom 250 logo, the agency said.

The announcement comes as the nation plans to celebrate its semiquincentennial this weekend.
