Trump Signs Order Banning Illegal Immigrants from Receiving Social Security Benefits

📝 DESCRIPTION
Social Security ban: Trump blocks benefits for illegal immigrants in a sweeping new order aimed at cracking down on fraud and government waste. On April 15, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing federal agencies to ensure that illegal immigrants and other ineligible individuals are prevented from accessing Social Security Act benefits. The order builds on Executive Order 14218 and mandates aggressive enforcement measures, including expanding the Social Security Administration’s fraud prosecutor program to 50 U.S. Attorney Offices and launching Medicare and Medicaid fraud prosecution in 15 more. Trump’s directive also requires investigations into suspicious earnings by individuals aged 100 or older, many of whom are suspected of identity theft or illegal work. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), backed by Elon Musk, has already flagged tens of thousands of suspicious cases. With a reported $182 billion cost to taxpayers annually from illegal immigration, this move is seen by conservatives as a vital step to protect Social Security and restore financial accountability.
