From the summary of a report by Social Security's Office of Inspector General (OIG):
Between February 1962 and January 2015, SSA paid $20.2 million in benefits to 133 individuals alleged, or found, to have participated in Nazi persecution. This occurred because the Social Security Act did not prohibit the payment of most of these benefits when they were paid. The $20.2 million in payments included $14.5 million paid to 95 beneficiaries who were not deported and $5.7 million paid to 38 beneficiaries who were deported.

Why is this an ongoing major priority? Granted these individuals were morally bankrupt but if they were allowed to earn U.S. Social Security QC's then why would they not be allowed receive benefits? If they are such heinous criminals why were they not incarcerated after the war but allowed to work and live in the U.S.? Doesn't seem to totally add up...
And after all the grandstanding, only 4 beneficiary's checks were cut off . . .
