On the heels of the IRS announcement that illegal immigrants under Obama’s amnesty will be able to collect tax refunds without ever having paid anything into the system, the Social Security Admin just announced that amnestied immigrants will be able to collect benefits from it as well, beginning as early as 2017.
This also follows a recent report by the Inspector General that exposes the fact that 6.5 million Social Security numbers are being used by people over 112 years of age – while only 35 people in the world are known to be living above that age. Most of those SS numbers are used to ‘obtain employment’. See video below.
Starting in 2017, the Social Security Administration expects that thousands of undocumented immigrants will begin collecting from the Old-Age, Survivor’s, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program as a direct result of the president’s actions.In a letter to Republican senator Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the SSA’s chief actuary Stephen Goss indicated that an additional 16,000 people will begin collecting OASDI benefits come 2017, and that the number of beneficiaries would continue to increase for 40 years thereafter, topping out at 695,000 people.
Goss’s projection may underestimate the number of potential beneficiaries, however, as it assumes that 50,000 fewer illegal immigrants will enter the country each year starting in 2016. What’s more, the SSA is proceeding as if nothing has changed in the wake of a federal judge’s injunction against Obama’s November 2014 executive actions. Goss tells NRO that he expects 58,000 new workers will be covered under the OASDI program later this year, although they will not be eligible to collect benefits immediately.
“Based on the best advice and counsel we have gotten, we’re working on the assumption that these [executive actions] will persist,” Goss says. “Most indications we seem to get are that it’s likely that this will get back on track, with some delay.” Goss notes that a law, additional regulation, or another executive action by Obama or a future president could alter the way SSA calculates and administers OASDI benefits, but says that he does not expect the court’s order will ultimately succeed in changing anything.
The Social Security Administration appears to be the latest Obama administration agency to ignore the federal judge’s injunction, moving forward as if it posed no legitimate threat to the president’s actions. U.S. Customs and Border Protection continues to circumvent the judge’s injunction, adhering to the relaxed border protection and enforcement standards laid out by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in the wake of the executive actions. And, as the Justice Department noted last week, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services began granting applications related to Obama’s executive amnesty well in advance of the date authorized by the president.
Apparently, when Republicans in Congress caved to Obama and fully funded DHS — and the president’s executive actions — last month, they paved the way for illegal immigrants to begin collecting benefits from other agencies as well.

There is no WE it’s the overlords of America. … WE WOULD HAVE DEPORTED SECURED THE BORDER, DEPORTED AND WOULD NOT HAVE FORGOTTEN THE ANCHOR BABIES. … Think about it with your government issued education and indoctrination. …
Why do we let this happen, Does Obama have all politicians in his pocket ?
This needs to be challenged in court.
Absolutely not God please save us
IT’S ONLY MONEY! They can just PRINT SOME MORE – until people will no longer accept the worthless paper in exchange for REAL VALUE.
How? If you pay nothing into social security, how can you get money out? No earnings to base your benefits on. This is totally going to bankrupt the whole program sooner than expected
This is so wrong.
WRONG!!!!!!
