Bill overview
The Safeguarding Benefits for Americans Act of 2026 aims to restrict certain federal assistance benefits, such as those provided under Social Security, to individuals who are U.S. citizens or nationals. The bill requires a rigorous verification process, including documentation of citizenship and confirmation with the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security, to ensure recipients are eligible. It also establishes a process for appealing ineligibility decisions and addresses how citizenship requirements apply to families and households receiving benefits. Finally, the act includes provisions to prevent entities from providing benefits to ineligible individuals and to monitor program compliance.
