That is exactly the point,and you just know the ACLU or some other left
attorney will find a sympatric judge who will order the SSA to pony up
to such a person and or his heirs, then the flood gates will be opened.


The fact that a person is an "illegal alien" has no bearing on whether
they are owed SS benefits. Many illegal alien pay income and SS tax, not
only because they are required to, but because they think it may someday
help achieve US citizenship.


But it wouldn't be under their own SSN, unless it was issued in the days
before Congress made SSA crack down on issuing such numbers.


Or they at one time had a work permit and a valid SSN and simply
overstayed their permitted time, thereby becoming illegal. Or they left
the country, but returned illegally.


Oh. I see what you are getting at.

But citizen or not, if they have a valid SS account, and have met the
deposit requirements, they are owed the benefits.


With an employment history under their own name on SSA records?


Yes. See above. Once you get the card/account legally, I don't think
there is any process for voiding your account.

I agree the circumstances would be a bit atypical.
