A BILL
To amend the Social Security Act to provide for the termination of

persecution, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``No Social Security for Nazis Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Congress enacted social security legislation to provide
earned benefits for workers and their families, should they
retire, become disabled, or die.
(2) Congress never intended for participants in Nazi
persecution to be allowed to enter the United States or to reap
the benefits of United States residency or citizenship,
including participation in the Nation's Social Security
program.

U.S.C. 402(n)(3)) is amended to read as follows:
``(3) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection--
``(A) an individual against whom a final order of removal
has been issued under section 237(a)(4)(D) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act on grounds of participation in Nazi
persecution shall be considered to have been removed under such
section as of the date on which such order became final;
``(B) an individual with respect to whom an order admitting
the individual to citizenship has been revoked and set aside
under section 340 of the Immigration and Nationality Act in any
case in which the revocation and setting aside is based on
conduct described in section 212(a)(3)(E)(i) of such Act
(relating to participation in Nazi persecution), concealment of
a material fact about such conduct, or willful
misrepresentation about such conduct shall be considered to
have been removed as described in paragraph (1) as of the date
of such revocation and setting aside; and
``(C) an individual who pursuant to a settlement agreement
with the Attorney General has admitted to conduct described in
section 212(a)(3)(E)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(relating to participation in Nazi persecution) and who
pursuant to such settlement agreement has lost status as a
national of the United States by a renunciation under section
349(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall be
considered to have been removed as described in paragraph (1)
as of the date of such renunciation.''.
(b) Other Benefits.--Section 202(n) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 402(n))
is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(4) In the case of any individual described in paragraph (3)
whose monthly benefits are terminated under paragraph (1)--
``(A) no benefits otherwise available under section 202
based on the wages and self-employment income of any other
individual shall be paid to such individual for any month after
such termination; and
``(B) no supplemental security income benefits under title
XVI shall be paid to such individual for any such month,
including supplementary payments pursuant to an agreement for
Federal administration under section 1616(a) and payments
pursuant to an agreement entered into under section 212(b) of
Public Law 93-66''.
