    The President issued a memorandum to various government officials focusing on preventing illegal immigrants from receiving Social Security benefits. Section 1 of the memorandum calls for strict measures to ensure ineligible individuals do not receive these benefits, including expanding a fraud prosecutor program and addressing issues noted in a 2023 audit. The audit highlighted missing records of deceased individuals and potential identity theft. Section 2 states that the memorandum should not interfere with existing laws or create any new legal rights.

    Simple Explanation

    The President wants to make sure that people who aren't supposed to get Social Security money don't receive it by mistake, especially if they're not legally allowed in the country. Some people might think this plan is tricky because it needs a lot of different groups to work together, and they might not have all the money or information to do it right.
