Rightful benefits are denied. My bill which I am now introducing for myself and Mr. LEVIN permits immigrants who came to this country after December 21. 1945. but before November 2. 1954. to correct their naturalization papers with respect to the date of birth listed. Such application for an amended certificate of naturalization shall be made to the Attorney General. He shall grant the request if the applicant proves to the Attorney Generals satisfaction that the misstatement was made out of fear that it would jeopardize the survivors attempt to emigrate to the United States and escape persecution because of race. religion. or political opinion. With corrected official documents. benefits would begin to flow to those immigrants over the age of 65 who would otherwise qualify. My bill leaves open the door for survivors other than young women who made misstatements about their age for good reason. It may be that age requirements for the right to live applied to others. and their benefit eligibility problems are the same.
