Summary

Makes Social Security fraud, identification-document fraud, and certain COVID-19 assistance fraud new grounds for inadmissibility and deportability. The bill would bar non-U.S. nationals who are convicted of, or who admit to committing, these offenses from entering the United States and could make them removable if already here.

  • Non-U.S. nationals seeking entry would be inadmissible if convicted of or admitting to Social Security number or card fraud, identification-document fraud, or fraud tied to COVID-19 loans or grants. This covers convictions, admissions, conspiracies, and acts that meet the essential elements of those offenses.
  • Non-U.S. nationals already in the United States could be deportable on the same grounds if convicted of or admitting to those offenses or related conspiracies.
