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

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:

  • small blue and black arrow
    be in a qualified alien category; and
    small blue and black arrow
    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.
    • small blue and black arrow
      Work done by your spouse or parent may also count toward the 40 quarters of work, but only for getting SSI.
