Summary of Bill HR 779
Bill 118 hr 779, also known as the No Social Security for Illegal Aliens Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to prevent individuals who are in the United States illegally from receiving Social Security benefits.
If passed, this bill would amend the Social Security Act to specify that individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States would not be eligible to receive Social Security benefits. This includes retirement, disability, and survivor benefits.
Supporters of the bill argue that it is important to ensure that Social Security benefits are reserved for those who have contributed to the system through payroll taxes and are legally entitled to receive them. They believe that allowing illegal immigrants to access these benefits would be unfair to American citizens and legal residents. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that denying Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants could lead to increased poverty and hardship for vulnerable populations. They believe that all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, should have access to basic social safety net programs. Overall, the No Social Security for Illegal Aliens Act of 2023 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about immigration policy and social welfare programs in the United States. It remains to be seen whether or not this bill will ultimately be passed into law.
