DHS investigating if migrants received Social Security in California

  • Federal authorities are examining whether California has distributed federal cash aid to undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles County since January 2021.
  • This inquiry follows a presidential memorandum directing DHS to prevent illegal aliens from receiving Social Security benefits, with a subpoena issued April 15 to obtain detailed records from local social services.
  • The subpoena seeks personal information and immigration documentation from applicants to the state-funded Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants, which offers financial support to elderly, visually impaired, or disabled legal noncitizens who do not qualify for federal Supplemental Security Income benefits because of their immigration status.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, "The gravy train is over" and stated the Los Angeles investigation "is just the beginning," urging undocumented immigrants to leave the country immediately.
  • The investigation aims to identify if ineligible immigrants improperly received federal Social Security payments and could affect California’s provision of state-funded benefits amid ongoing federal scrutiny.
