AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.
This bill would change Social Security rules so that work done in the United States by people who are not legally authorized to work would not count as creditable wages or self-employment income for Social Security. In simple terms, it aims to prevent unauthorized work from being used to build Social Security benefit credits. It also requires the Social Security Administration to recalculate benefits if needed after the change becomes law.
- Wages earned from a job performed while a person was not authorized to work in the United States would not count toward Social Security credit.
- Income from self-employment would also not count if it came from a business or work activity that the person was not authorized to do in the United States.
- The change would apply to earnings from before, on, and after the date the bill is enacted, and the Social Security Administration would have to update benefit calculations as soon as practical.
- The benefit changes would apply only to months after the law takes effect.
