I signed up at age 62, which I now know was not wise, but I digress. We see from various sourc- es that immigrants, legal and illegal, get Social Security benefits merely by at- tained age, regardless of contributions. Is that true? Signed: Curious Nonage- narian. Dear Curious: Rest assured that ille- gal immigrants (or "illegal aliens," "un- documented workers" or whatever one chooses to call them) are not entitled to collect Social Security benefits. It is, however, possible for legal immigrants to collect Social Security benefits if they have individually earned the right to do so, including those who are the legal- ly-present dependent (spouse or child) of someone who is collecting Social Se- curity benefits. By "legal immigrant" I mean those who have immigrated to the United States and have applied for and re- ceived either a Permanent Resident Card ("green card") or who have subsequently acquired U.S. citizenship. It's also possi- ble to obtain an "Employment Authoriza- tion Document" which grants a foreign citizen temporary authority to work in the U.S., mainly used by citizens of other countries who work in the U.S. (typically those working for an international corpo- ration which has a U.S. presence). In all cases, however, only legal residents who work, earn, and contribute sufficiently to Social Security from their earnings, or who are a legal dependent of some- one who is collecting Social Security, can receive Social Security ben- efits. The criteria for Social Se- curity eligibility are very strict and those without le- gal U.S. residency status are not eligible to collect benefits. Especially on to- day's social media outlets, we often see uninformed people espousing the be- lief that illegal immigrants enjoy access to Social Se- curity benefits which is simply not true. That's not to say there are no instances of fraud, but rest assured that those cas- es are vigorously sought and eventually found and prosecuted by Social Securi- ty's Inspector General's office. FYI, there is another category of fed- eral benefit known as Supplemental Se- curity Income ("SSI") which has some- what different eligibility criteria but still requires either legal residency as I've de- fined above, or another special residen- cy status which defines them as a "quali- fied alien" (e.g., certain Indian tribes, ref- ugees and those granted asylum, victims of human trafficking, etc.), as defined by the federal government. SSI is, essential- ly, a general disability benefit for needy seniors, minors, and disabled adults with very little income and very few assets. Federal SSI benefits are paid from the general Treasury, not from Social Secu- rity funds, and do not detract from Social Security's finances. SSI is administered by each state, which usually provide oth- er assistance in addition to the relatively small federal monetary benefit ($ 841 per month for 2022). As you are undoubtedly aware, all U.S. States have separate laws which may provide benefits to all state citizens, regardless of their federal residency status, but that is entirely outside the realm of Social Security and does not affect Social Secu- rity's financial structure. To receive So- cial Security benefits, one must have ei- ther earned the right to do so by contrib- uting sufficiently to the program or be the legally present dependent of some- one who is (or was) collecting Social Se- curity and meet all other eligibility crite- ria for the benefit claimed. Regarding your decision to claim at 62, remember that life expectancy is always an unknown factor and deciding when to claim always includes a large degree of uncertainty. We should all be comfort- able knowing for certain that Social Se- curity will be there for us until the end.
