Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The SSA Reform Act of 2025 would restrict Social Security and related federal 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 someone's citizenship status, immigration status, or work authorization changes, allowing the agency to track eligibility changes. The legislation affects all individuals receiving Social Security retirement and disability benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, child health insurance, supplemental security income, and other benefits administered by the Social Security Administration. Starting one year after enactment and annually thereafter, the two agencies must report to Congress on the number of status notifications received, processing times, any fraud prevented through the system, and how effectively they're coordinating data sharing. The bill does not specify new funding amounts but establishes an ongoing reporting requirement to assess the program's effectiveness in preventing benefit fraud and misuse.
