Millions of Noncitizens Obtain Social Security Numbers During the Biden Administration
Recent data indicates that there has been a notable rise in the issuance of Social Security numbers to noncitizens, with more than 2 million granted in FY 2024 alone.
A recent chart displayed at a town hall meeting in Wisconsin revealed that millions of noncitizens have received Social Security numbers during the Biden administration.
The data, spanning fiscal years 2021 to 2025, shows a consistent year-over-year rise, with over 2 million noncitizen Social Security numbers issued in FY 2024. This figure contributes to a greater total, with approximately 1 million noncitizens receiving Social Security numbers in both FY 2023 and FY 2025. Antonio Gracias, who collaborates with the federal Social Security system, presented the chart.
Gracias stated that the information was uncovered during an audit designed to detect fraud within the system.
These findings have garnered significant attention due to the large numbers involved.
In addition to noncitizen data, audits have shown that about 7 million Social Security accounts are associated with individuals reported to be over 120 years old, and nearly 20 million accounts belong to deceased individuals.
These revelations form part of a larger investigation into various federal programs and agencies, including the Social Security Administration.
The matter of noncitizen access to public services has been a point of debate, with previous executive orders instructing agencies to ensure that such services are designated for U.S. citizens.
Recent efforts have also aimed to enhance communication between agencies to prevent noncitizens from benefiting from public housing programs.
