Elon Musk is looking for ways to cut fraud and waste from Social Security and Medicare | Here’s a big one: Biden Signed H.R. 7691 Qualifying Refugees From Ukraine TO CLAIM SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS

- H.R. 7691 was signed into law on May 21, 2022

- H.R. 7691 also opened pathways for Ukrainian parolees to access mainstream federal benefits typically reserved for refugees, like Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA)

- In October 2024, the Department of Homeland Security extended parole and work authorization for Ukrainians under the Uniting for Ukraine program, keeping them eligible for such benefits through 2025 and beyond if they reapply successfully

I’ve shared mainstream media reports confirming hundreds of thousands of Ukraine citizens are claiming American Social Security Benefits and have never paid in

“President Joe Biden Signed H.R. 7691 Qualifying Refugees From Ukraine to claim Social Security Benefits

- They're not paying into the system

- They're not from this country

- They didn't help build this country

“So riddle me this. How how how are they getting SSI checks? You know, the money that is taken out of every paycheck that we get every time we get a paycheck, that chunk of money that they take.

How are Ukrainian refugees getting SSI checks? Make me understand that. Please make me understand that. Because they're trying to work us until we die So that we don't get the SSI check. So, how?

How how is that happening? Somebody please make me understand because the math is not mathing”

Funny how this bill H.R. 7691 never made much news. It should have been a fairly big story and debated publicly. The USAID news recipients didn’t want to cover it?

CNN is reporting that Elon is sending out an email to ALL Soc Sec recipients asking what they were going to spend their SS check on. We have ONE WEEK to respond or else they will declare us dead or fraud.

No. She's the one complaining about Ukrainians collecting Social Security funds that they never paid into.

So Joek wasn’t president of the US. He was president of the underworld.

Some “people” died before Social Security even existed. So many of these SS numbers have been stolen.
Finally we are seeing the “America last” policy of Biden and the democrats. It’s amazing that Dems are still strongly defending it.

Was that a law passed by the house and senate?

Seems to indicate such: House Resolution. Did none of them read it? Or were they all okay with that BS?

Some round of talking heads on leftist media last week said “the Right is lying-—undocumented residents are not eligible for benefits.”

Ha.

SSI is managed by the social security Administration but SSI is financed by general funds of the U.S. Treasury—personal income taxes, corporate taxes, and other taxes.

Social Security taxes collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) or the Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) do NOT fund the SSI program.

SSI is based primarily on low income and resources and doctors saying you have some sort of disability.

I think this program is RIFE with waste, fraud and abuse on multiple levels.

H.R. is House of Representatives bill (law).
A House Resolution is H.Res. and is not a law.

When multiple members of the same family/household receive this income is a virtual goldmine. $967 per individual with automatic coverage from medicaid.

15,000 Haitians in Springfield,Ohio are eligible. (Plus all other social services) They are classified as “Humanitarian Parolees”. Benefits range from $600-$2100/month. The benefits run out after 7 years
Officials consider this “contributing to the local economy “.
