And guess what... those "illegals" that are "paying" SS/Medicare payments that WILL benefit THEM will also get an Earned Income Tax credit!
So not only will they be receiving EIC credits i.e. CASH BACK, they won't pay any taxes... and when the retire get the SS/Medicare benefits.
Seems like a good deal all around doesn't it???
They will not be able to access SS benefits that they paid into.....
Where do you get your proof for your wrong statement?
Because HERE are the FACTS about illegal immigrants GETTING SS/Medicare benefits!!!!
I wish you idiots would do just a little modicum of research because your ignorance of how to get information from the internet wastes my time in supporting
my posts! Use the f...king Internet and prove your statements!
Here prove this statement is incorrect:..
"TyroneSothrop evidenced by his comments is a lazy, living with his parents idiot, forms opinions based on biased information!"
prove that statement is wrong!
Now as far as illegals collecting SS/Medicare.....Facts
Q: How do they claim benefits if the law prohibits illegals from collecting?
A: There are several ways it happens. One has to do with the type of SSN that was used for employment.
The 2004 law requires work authorization in order to claim Social Security.
But the law pertains only to individuals who received their SSN after January 1, 2004.
If the individual was issued an SSN prior to January 1, 2004,
like the 7 million non-work SSNs issued prior to 2003, the 2004 law prohibiting payment of Social Security does not apply.
According to the Congressional Research Service and the Government Accountability Office,
that group does not need to have ever received legal work authorization in order to claim benefits — they may have worked illegally their entire careers.
As long as all other qualifications are met, and they have evidence of their earnings, like W2s, they may file a claim for Social Security benefits. Others who receive an SSN after 2004 must have work authorization to claim benefits. Yet even people who worked illegally for many years sometimes later change status. That can occur even without an amnesty, especially if the illegals have children who were born in this country. Because the children are born as U.S. citizens, when they become adults they can sponsor their parents to stay in the U.S. legally and to receive work authorization. If their parents kept W2s and evidence earnings, those work credits will be re-instated to their new SSNs. Once they receive work authorization, noncitizens can later file a claim for Social Security benefits.
Currently the SSA uses all earnings to determine entitlement to benefits, including the earnings for jobs worked illegally. The majority of seniors responding to TSCL surveys on the topic believe that noncitizens should not be allowed to receive Social Security based on illegal work. TSCL agrees. Social Security benefits are determined on earnings and work history, regardless of whether taxes were paid or not. Because those earnings are held by Social Security in an Earnings Suspense file, non-citizens could at some point gain access to benefits based on illegal earnings. TSCL strongly supports legislation that would ban the payment of Social Security based on unauthorized work.
