They are not only able to receive social security but also the new tax credits and stimulus checks. The democrats (Yes- not a SINGLE republican voted for it) made it so that you don't need a social security number to register for the stimulus checks.

What?

That doesn't even sound right...how do you get a stimulus check without registering a valid SSN?

There was a loophole that needed to be fixed whereas if you got married and didn't report right away to the IRS that allowed people to get money if their names and SSNs didn't match.

You ned to at least have that to file your taxes because you at some point, HAVE TO PAY THAT back.

I AGREE WITH YOU...THAT IS EFFED UP.

Not true. This is from the IRS website under the eligibility requirements:
"You and any family members listed on your tax return have valid Social Security numbers." http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=177937,00.html

According to the letter of the law you are correct. However, thanks to lobbying and many immigration attorneys finding loopholes it is not uncommon for illegal aliens to receive social security checks. There's even a book, titled "What you need to know about life in America" that details a step by step process on how to get social security if you don't have a SSN. Unforunately, many illegal aliens have been able to obtain social security cards (not hard when you have no respect for American law to begin with) through various government offices.

No, that's not what you said. You said "The democrats (Yes- not a SINGLE republican voted for it) made it so that you don't need a social security number to register for the stimulus checks."

You've made some pretty broad generalizations about people in this thread - and others. It takes a lot away from your credibility when you are proven incorrect and still argue that you're right.

You can register for stimulus checks with a tax id number if you don't have a SSN.

Ahhh, this is the second time in this thread alone where you've claimed something that was disproven almost right away. Again, it is best to be armed with the proper ammunition when engaging in this sort of thing. Once is a misunderstanding, twice or more is just hysterical lying and possible blind listening to urban myths. $41K to incarcerate someone for a year? Hogwash! Illegal immigrants taking the stimulus money? False!

It's so easy to do a quick Internet search before you go running off at the fingers.
