Not when you consider that those from India and other nations with residence status send for their elderly parents to come over on a six month visa so that they can file for SS payments and then return to India and the government will mail their checks to them there. It isn't Social Security but some offshoot that pays cash emergency or some such, SSE, OEC, I can't keep up with all the alphabet agencies.

People on tourist visas aren't eligible for SS payments. You must have confused temporary stays on tourist visas with naturalized citizens sponsoring their parents and bringing them over here to suck on the taxpayer dollar.
