Trump's Memorandum Targets Social Security Eligibility

President Donald Trump is set to sign a memorandum aimed at preventing ineligible individuals, specifically aliens, from claiming Social Security benefits. Announced by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the initiative seeks to tighten the administration of Social Security Act programs to maintain their integrity.

President Donald Trump plans to sign a memorandum on Tuesday that the White House says is aimed at curbing ineligible individuals from claiming Social Security benefits.

The measure will direct the administration to ensure that ineligible aliens are not receiving funds from Social Security Act programs. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed this initiative to reporters.

The memorandum is part of the administration's broader efforts to tighten controls over federal assistance programs and ensure that benefits are only awarded to qualified recipients. This move aligns with the administration's pursuit of fiscal responsibility within federal social programs.
