Bill > HR1547

This bill, known as the Social Security for Americans Reform Act of 2025, aims to modify how immigration status changes are tracked and how social security benefits are administered. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to notify the Social Security Administration within 180 days of any changes to an individual's citizenship, immigration, or work authorization status for anyone with a social security account number. Additionally, the bill mandates an annual joint report to Congress detailing these notifications, including the number of status changes, notification timeframes, challenges in the process, and the effectiveness of preventing fraud. Most significantly, the bill restricts social security benefits - including old-age, disability, Medicare, Medicaid, and supplemental security income - to only U.S. citizens and nationals, effectively excluding non-citizens from receiving these government assistance programs. The bill represents a significant policy change that would limit social safety net access based on citizenship status, potentially impacting immigrant populations' access to critical social services and financial support.
