HR 1172 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
No Social Security for Illegal Aliens Act of 2025
To amend title II of the Social Security Act to exclude from creditable wages and self-employment income wages earned for services by aliens illegally performed in the United States and self-employment income derived from a trade or business illegally conducted in the United States.
Summary
This bill amends the Social Security Act to exclude wages earned by unauthorized aliens from counting toward Social Security credits and benefits. It also excludes self-employment income derived from unauthorized business activities by aliens from creditable self-employment income. The amendments apply retroactively to all wages and self-employment income earned before or after the bill's enactment. The Social Security Administration would be required to recompute primary insurance amounts to implement these changes, with the new rules affecting benefits only for months after the bill becomes law.
