Non-citizens here on an H1b should pay into Social
Security as an additional tax, but be unable to collect.
<><>all the H1B types work here for 10 years
<><>that enables them to collect SS at the highest payout
<><>since they pocket a $150k+ per year salary for those 10 years
<><>they then go back to their country and work
<><>(SS does not know they are working and collecting)

One small correction about your post that foreign workers can be eligible for Social Security Disability after 10 years of lawful work and SocSec contributions in the USA.

They would need 35 years of maximum SS contributions to be eligible for the highest SS Disability payment.

However, they do get paid more than anyone who just made the minimum SS contribution for 10 years.

How does USA SS Disability work in India?

Do Indian doctors do the exams and on going certifications?

Who certifies they are NOT working in India?

The opportunity for fraud is ridiculous!

It isn’t just ‘’workers’’.

They get here and then bring the whole damn family, right down to grandma and they’re given Social Security benefits.
