PR=Perminent residents.

You have to have 40 points in order to be eligible for the benefit of Social Security.

>>My example given, was a man that has never worked here, lives with his daughter and only tips back beer. Yet still allowed to dip into SS because of his age. <<

In your case, those people are dipping into Supplementary Social Security (SSS), not the Social Security itself (because they have never contributed to Social Security fund). But I think it is now getting very difficult for immigrants to have SSS.

I think I read that in the decade of 1990's, just in Chicago area, there were >200,000 Jewish immigrants from ex-USSR, and a lot of them were retirement-age when they came, and were eligible for SSS from day one. I guess the US got too much money back then<g>.
