In a jaw-dropping announcement, President Donald Trump has declared that an astonishing 275,000 illegal aliens have been KICKED OFF the Social Security system. Trump frames this move as significant for protecting benefits intended for U.S. citizens. This is mostly being done because a lot of these people have been using these old Social Security numbers and collecting money from them. This is a grift the people at the top put to make sure they took care of the class of people they wanted.
That is why it's good to find these problems, and fix them. This not just helps cut down voter fraud but also brings down the overall spending in the programs like EBT, and other social needed programs that should ONLY go to American Citizens who need them.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) expressed its full support for President Trump’s memorandum, “Preventing Illegal Aliens from Receiving Social Security Act Benefits.” This memorandum reinforces SSA’s commitment to safeguarding taxpayer dollars and ensuring the integrity of the programs it administers. “The Social Security Administration is dedicated to protecting the vital benefits that American workers have earned on behalf of themselves and their families,” said Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek.
They include: Expanding SSA’s fraud prosecutor programs; Investigating earnings reports of people 100 years old or older with mismatched records; Considering reinstatement of SSA’s civil monetary penalty program; and Reinforcing program integrity measures so that only non-citizens who meet all eligibility requirements can receive benefits.
SSA administers three essential programs under the Social Security Act that support the financial well-being of over 70 million individuals. The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) program, established in 1935, provides retirement and survivors benefits, paying over $1.3 trillion in fiscal year (FY) 2024 to approximately 59 million beneficiaries monthly. The Disability Insurance (DI) program, established in 1956, offers benefits to disabled workers and their families, issuing about $157 billion in FY 2024 to over 8 million beneficiaries each month.
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, created in 1972, supports aged, blind, and disabled individuals with limited income, issuing around $56 billion in payments to 7.4 million recipients monthly, with some also receiving OASI or DI benefits. Additionally, the agency supports various national programs administered by other federal and state agencies including Medicare and Medicaid, among others.
