Best Answer

The only way anyone can receive social security benefits is if he/she has earned at least 40 credits (yearly maximum credits=4) or if they are a surviving spouse of someone who has done so. These credits must accrue to a legitimate social security number, not to a false number used by illegals to get a job. There has been a rumor for years that the Carter administration enacted a law to pay illegal's benefits at age 65. This is completely false. "Totalization", which combines social security credits earned in the US (legally) with those earned in one of 20 countries that the United States has an agreement with, is best described here: www.snopes/inboxer/pending/mexican.asp.

NO, you have to have 2 forms of identification, and if you are illegal you are not getting one anyway.

The Answer no is not truly correct. There is a couple of ways an individual could get a SS Card while being Illegal immigrant status. I personally know of a person who has one because he came to visit his father before his 18 birthday and his father had one issued to him so that he could be claimed as a dependent. Now he was supposed to return to Mexico Once he reached the age of 18 but he never did and has been working and filing Taxes with that number issued when he was a child. His father never completed his Immigration so he is here illegal.

Yes, I have had friends who received Social Security and food stamps and they were illegal immigrants. They were very pleasant people and hard workers but they were also illegal.
