I guess I should add this is a man who was here legally for over 30yrs. He has an american wife, and children, and grandchildren, who are american! He worked here legally and paid in taxes and S.S for all those years. you can be deported for a simple traffic violation, if this makes you some terrible criminal, well then I guess there are a lot of us! He never took his citizenship because he was a perminant resident, and married to an american and still is. This is a real marriage and family!

If he paid into the system he should certainly be able to collect. This is the one time I would contact the ACLU.....amazing what we as a government do to people....

I thought you could collect when you retire being a US Citizen at any country...but being only a LPR holder than I really don't know, but im sure they didn't only deport him for a traffick ticket!!!....if he was a legal resident for 30 years, and deported, it had to have been a felony charge, traffick ticket is not enough considering the years of legal residency....if he commited a crime within 5 years of legal residency then he can also be put in deportation proceedings even 20 years after the crime commited...so, the only way he can find out is contacting the Social Security administration and ask if he can collect his social security benefits...good luck!!!

This is very complicated. I could not find the answer for the specific scenario you described, but I have found the following information. Follow the links to get in touch with the correct Social Security staff person.
Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, permits payment of Social Security benefits to noncitizens living in the United States (U.S.) only if they are lawfully present in this country. The law requires that anyone living in the U.S. who applies for Social Security benefits on or after December 1, 1996, must provide evidence that he or she is a U.S. citizen or U.S. national, or an alien lawfully present in the U.S. as determined by the Attorney General.
This law does not affect:
Social Security benefits for people residing outside the U.S.;
Social Security benefits for people who applied before December 1, 1996; or
Entitlement to the lump sum death payment.
For more information, you may call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. Our representatives there will be glad to help you.
If you live outside the U.S., see http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foreign/ for information on services in other countries. If you reside in the United States you can apply for benefits online at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/applyforbenefits. You can find more information about whether you can receive benefits abroad as a non-U.S. citizen in the booklet, Your Payments While You Are Outside the United States (SSA Publication No. 05-10137) at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10137.html.

If he was here illegally, he probably used a phony Social Security number. I am hoping the government will take all these funds and use them as payment against the deficit. If there is any justice left, no way will a criminal receive a penny from Social Security.

Permanent residents don't get deported for a simple traffic violation, it seems you are either making this up or not telling the whole story

I can't accept this story as you tell it. If he was deported it means he did something very wrong according to the law in the USA. You claim a traffic ticket. I say BS!
In my opinion a criminal is a criminal is a criminal. He forfeited his rights to claim any money/benefits.

for sure it does. In California, taxpayers provide illegals welfare, clinical coverage, loose college and in a minimum of four counties, van provider to and from paintings. in addition they get help with college training, something California voters are not entitled to. For the guy who says they pay taxes, sensible, some do, notwithstanding it sensible would not cover all those advantages, that are expected to price 10 billion a 365 days in California on my own.

if he is not a citizen he should not be allowed to get anything. i don't care if he paid taxes and has children that are citizens, he drove on our roads and his kids went to our schools, that is what some of the tax money went to. its not my fault that his own country is to messed up to give a crap about its people. and that job he was working could have been had by a real american

If the person was illegaly here, they would have never had a social security number. So, my answer is no. He wouldn't have any Social Security benefits to collect without a legal social security number.

Only if they were under legal status before the deportation. If they were not they get nothing.
