If we pass the bill before us. we will be adding millions of new beneficiaries into the Social Security system. but we will also be allowing individuals who were not authorized to work in this country the opportunity to qualify from illegal work. Under the current bill. Social Security credits for the time prior to getting a valid card would not be allowed. That is the good part of the bill. However. on a visa overstay or someone who has a card in their name. but they are working illegally. they would still be able to get quarters credited for that illegal work. My amendment would close that loophole. According to the GAO. about 22 percent of the whole Social Security that an employee would pay over 40 quarters would be approximately $193.42 per month.
