Bill > HR1172

This bill proposes to amend the Social Security Act to exclude wages and self-employment income earned by individuals who are not legally authorized to work in the United States from being counted towards Social Security benefits. Specifically, the bill would prevent unauthorized immigrants from receiving Social Security credits for any work performed during periods when they are not legally permitted to be employed in the country. The legislation would modify existing law to explicitly state that services performed by an alien while employed without authorization, as well as any business functions or services conducted illegally in the United States, cannot be used to calculate Social Security benefits. The changes would apply to wages and income earned before, on, or after the date of the bill's enactment, and the Social Security Commissioner would be required to recompute primary insurance amounts accordingly. However, the bill would only affect benefits for months following the date of enactment, meaning past benefits would not be retroactively adjusted.
