Has anyone investigated the issue of whether immigrants from Micronesia allowed into the United States under the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 are eligible for SSI? These immigrants stand in a unique position under United States law. Their status under Title XVI of the Social Security Act is difficult to determine, at least for me. If you have information on this subject, I would appreciate an e-mail to charles[at]charleshallfirm.com.
yes they are - in the compact (and compact ii) of free assocation they are provided the right to a SSN and the coresponding benefits. i helped an FSM friend get his card so let me know if you have problems. see the compact positings on www.habele.blogspot.com
