Death benefits, no - the child isn't dead yet. Survivor's benefits, yes - once the father established legal custody.

What kind of protection is there when it comes to Social Security?

Social protection refers to a set of benefits available (or not available) from the state, market, civil society and households, or through a combination of these agencies, to the individual/households to reduce multi-dimensional deprivation. This multi-dimensional deprivation could be affecting less active poor persons (e.g. the elderly, disabled) and active poor persons (e.g. unemployed). This broad framework makes this concept more acceptable in developing countries than the concept of social security. Social security is more applicable in the conditions, where large numbers of citizens depend on the formal economy for their livelihood. Through a defined contribution, this social security may be managed. But, in the context of wide spread informal economy, formal social security arrangements are almost absent for the vast majority of the working population. The framework of social protection is thus capable of holding the state responsible to provide for the poorest sections by regulating non-stat

Did Obama vote to give social security to illegal aliens?

Illegal Immigrants are broadly disqualified from collecting benefits from government programs, according to U.S. Code, with only limited exceptions. Those exceptions are:Emergency medical care (which includes emergency labor and delivery)Emergency disaster relief that is provided for the short term and is not a cash paymentLimited immunizations and testing, and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseasesCertain community programs, such as soup kitchens or crisis counseling, as specified by the Attorney GeneralLimited housing or community development assistance to those already receiving it in 1996These are the only circumstances under which illegal immigrants can lawfully receive government assistance. Notably absent from this list is any type of Social Security benefits. To repeat: Illegal immigrants cannot legally receive Social Security benefits, and Congress isn't about to vote on legislation that would change that.Added March 3, 2011 - Actually, the information above is not totally accurate. As per personal involvement with California WIC programs (a Federally assisted supplemental nutrition and aide program for Women, Infants and Children), I can attest that this government agency will accept a Matrícula Consular de Alta Seguridad (MCAS) as valid identification for eligibility into the program.For those who are unaware of the Matricula Conselar, it is an identification card produced by the Mexican government that extends consulate privileges to Mexican nationalists residing outside of Mexico.Accepting this document as valid identification into the program, allows tax- and social security-funded resources to be given to "illegal" aliens who have never paid (and may never pay) into the money-generating system of taxes and social security. Given, this is a "work around" the established norm, having worked with several WIC agencies, I have personally witnessed considerable resources being extended to non-Americans thru the WIC programs.Added March 27, 2011-Actually, The Matrícula Consular de Alta Seguridadhas been issued by the Mexican government since 1871 and only denotes that a Mexican National is living in a foreign country. It has no bearing on the immigration status of that individual.This bill specifically states that no immigrant will be allowed Social Security benefits unless they become a citizen first, thereby paying into the Social Security system. Also, many "illegal" aliens are also paying federal taxes in hopes of increasing their chances of gaining citizenship.Added March 29, 2011 - While an accurate reiteration of the Matricula Consular as taken from Wikipeida's page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matr%C3%ADcula_Consular), if you read further into the page, you will see that indeed, "Several US states, municipalities, and businesses have been accepting the Matricula Consular as an official form of identification." But it's not really about what the paperwork reads, is it? While the Bill may actually specify that immigrants are not allowed Social Security benefits, the fact that they ARE receiving such benefits should serve to provoke our interests as to why and what do we need to do in order to stop it.Having worked with several WIC facilities and other social service orientated government agencies, I can only account for what I have personally witnessed. What I've witnessed within each of these agencies is a sampling of such institutions that do allow for our Social Security benefits to be handed to individuals living in the US illegally (despite what political paperwork says). Simply go onto their websites or give your local WIC agency a call and inquire about it. These government-funded institutions are allowing such blatant access to the benefits we've paid for, with as little as a Mexican-issued identification card.Did anyone work the California polls last year? If so, do you remember being told in the official training that if someone presents a Matricula Consular as a form of ID, that we were instructed to provide them with a ballot (this too can be validated by going onto the CA Voters Registrar's website)? Our precinct had eight such ballots go into our voting system. I know because I was responsible for having to process them. And if the precinct I worked had eight, how many more actually infiltrated the system? Ours isn't even a readily accepted Hispanic community. While this is not an example of our Social Security benefits being handed over to illegal aliens (yet), it does show very little regard of the US Government maintaining any kind of sanctity for the American people and their rights. And while paperwork may say one thing, it's the actions of our Government that really requires our attention. Be forewarned, because the greatest terrorist threat to America and its continued democracy, lies within its own government.
