No Social Security Benefits for Unauthorized Workers in the U.S.
This act aims to exclude wages and self-employment income earned by individuals unauthorized to work in the United States from being creditable for Social Security benefits. This means that illegally performed work will not count towards the work history required for retirement or other benefits. These changes will apply to earnings obtained before, on, or after the enactment date, affecting benefits paid after that date.
