White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the directive&#8217;s primary focus is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pennsylvania-republican-redirect-bidens-secret-flights-of-illegal-aliens-to-his-home-state-of-delaware\/\" title=\"Pennsylvania Republican: Redirect Biden&#039;s Secret Flights of Illegal Aliens to His Home State of Delaware\">prevent illegal aliens<\/a> and other ineligible individuals from obtaining benefits under the Social Security Act. The memo also seeks to expand the federal government&#8217;s program for prosecuting Social Security fraud, including investigations into suspicious earning reports, notably for individuals 100 years or older, to combat identity theft.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt criticized the previous administration, claiming that manny illegal immigrants granted access to the U.S. under President Joe Biden are fraudulently receiving benefits. Recent investigations revealed that over 2 million migrants were issued Social Security numbers in the fiscal year 2024 alone. Additionally, government team member Antonio Gracias reported that many of these individuals are currently enrolled in Medicaid and on voter rolls in multiple states, some of whom may have voted.<\/p>\n<p>The memorandum further directs the Social Security Administration to consider reinstating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-push-bill-to-prevent-government-of-persuading-big-tech-to-censorship\/\" title=\"Republicans Push Bill to Prevent Government of Persuading Big Tech to Censorship\">civil monetary penalties<\/a> against those committing fraud, a practice that had been on hold for several years.
