Can resident alien receive social security and medicare when never employed in the us?
Biktop
There are four types of social security benefits - retirement, disability, Survivor and SSI (supplemental security income).
Retirement and disability benefits are only available to people who worked in jobs covered by social security (for example, most government employees aren't covered by social security but most private sector jobs are).
A resident alien can receive survivor benefits as the surviving spouse or child of a covered person.
SSI makes payments to disabled, low income people, these benefits are unrelated to employment history. A resident alien can receive SSI, if they qualify.
Medicare benefits are also unrelated to employment history. A resident alien that has legally resided for 5 years in the U.S. can receive Medicare benefits
