The Social Security for Americans Reform Act of 2024 would restrict Social Security and related benefits to U.S. citizens and nationals only. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to notify the Social Security Administration within 180 days whenever an individual's citizenship status, immigration status, or work authorization changes, allowing the agencies to identify and remove ineligible beneficiaries from programs. The legislation affects anyone receiving Social Security retirement, disability, or survivor benefits, as well as Medicare, Medicaid, child health insurance, and supplemental security income. Starting one year after enactment, the two agencies must submit annual reports to Congress detailing the number of status notifications received, the timeliness of those notifications, and data on fraud prevention. The bill contains no specific funding authorization, instead requiring coordination between existing federal agencies to implement the notification and eligibility verification system.
