Content: So they pay into the system but are unable to claim benefits." Paul Van de Water, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank, also said the Facebook post’s claims were false. "Social Security and Medicare benefits cannot be paid to people who are not lawfully present in the United States, among other requirements," he said in an email. " Even lawfully present immigrants have to (be) residents for at least five years to qualify for Medicare benefits." He directed us to two government documents. The first, the Program Operations Manual System for Social Security, notes that people in the country illegally are not eligible for benefits. The second document, a publication from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, covers enrolling in Medicare, health insurance for people who are 65 and older, younger than 65 with certain disabilities, or people of any age with end-stage renal disease.
