"There are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN"

[DonGlock26]

That makes no sense.

Engelmayer’s ruling was in response to a suit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James and 18 other state attorneys general against the Trump administration.

Good for the states' attorney generals.

Ilegals can get "supplemental" even if they never worked in the USA. Another confusing can of worms at SSA.gov

A noncitizen (also called an "alien" for immigration purposes) may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if he or she meets the requirements of the laws for noncitizens that went into effect on August 22, 1996. In general, beginning August 22, 1996, most noncitizens must meet two requirements to be potentially eligible for SSI:

• 
  be in a qualified alien category; and
  
  
  meet a condition that allows qualified aliens to get SSI.

IMPORTANT: A noncitizen must also meet all of the other rules for SSI eligibility, including the limits on income and resources, etc.
***************
If you are in one of the 7 "qualified alien" categories listed above, you may be eligible for SSI if you also meet one of the following conditions:

1. You were receiving SSI and lawfully residing in the U.S. on August 22, 1996.
2. You are LAPR with 40 qualifying quarters of work.
   • 
     Work done by your spouse or parent may also count toward the 40 quarters of work, but only for getting SSI.
