Congress is finally getting serious about fraud targeting Social Security beneficiaries — and the scammers are about to face REAL consequences. 😎

👉 What’s Happening:
✅ The U.S. Senate just passed a resolution supporting National ‘Slam the Scam’ Day — aimed at raising awareness about Social Security fraud.
✅ The resolution, introduced by Senators Rick Scott (R-FL) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), highlights the fact that:
• Scam losses exceeded $10 BILLION in 2023 alone. 😳
• Social Security-related scams are the #1 source of financial fraud in the U.S.
✅ The resolution calls for increased public education and harsher penalties for scammers.

👉 Legislative Action:
✅ The Consequences for Social Security Fraud Act (H.R. 6678) is moving through Congress:
• Criminalizes producing false identification or misrepresenting information to the Social Security Administration.
• Makes Social Security fraud a deportable offense for non-U.S. nationals. 💥
✅ The bill passed the House on January 31, 2024 — and it’s now under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

👉 Senator Susan Collins Leads the Charge:
✅ Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has been a vocal advocate for cracking down on these scammers:
• She applauded the arrests of multiple Social Security scammers.
• Collins: “Anyone defrauding vulnerable seniors deserves the full weight of the law.” 💪
✅ Collins pushed for the SSA to expand their online reporting system to make it easier for seniors to flag suspicious activity.

👉 How Big Is This Problem?
✅ The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) confirmed that Social Security scams cost Americans over $10 billion in 2023.
✅ The Social Security Administration (SSA) has set up a direct fraud reporting system to track these scams:

✅ “We’re not just going after the scammers — we’re going to deport them if they’re not U.S. citizens.” 🔥

👉 What This Means:
✅ Stricter penalties ✅
✅ Criminal prosecution ✅
✅ Deportation for non-U.S. nationals ✅
✅ More tools for seniors to fight back ✅
