    Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York requested the inquiry in letters sent Monday to the inspectors general at the Justice Department and Social Security Administration.

    Maloney, a high-ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called the payments a “gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.”

    AP reported Sunday that the benefits flowed through a legal loophole.

    The Social Security Administration has refused AP’s request to provide the total number of Nazi suspects who received benefits and the dollar amounts of those payments.

    AP last week appealed the agency’s denial of the information through the Freedom of Information Act.

    Question, did they work for years here in the US and pay in to the Social Security System and were drawing benefits just like anyone else who paid in; or were they scamming the system?

    it’s the current Democratic administration who’s sending these payments. VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER

    The order to stop SS benefits payments depends when theDept. of Justice issues a deportation order and until that deportation order is issued SS benefits cannot be stopped. Better question is how come these were admitted to the U.S and they were more welcome than I survivor. The Ukrainian and Croatian Churches pushed for their entry

    The whole issue is political grand standing and has no merit. The stop payment order is sequel to a deportation order by the Justice Dept. and unless the Justice Dept. issue the deportation order SSA cannot stop payment.. Far worse is that many were hired by the CIC and worked for the Army . As a survivor my question is how come they were admitted as immigrants and Churches pushed for their admission

    To all those fine conservative , anti-socialist , anti communist posters on this website I have some news these war criminals stood at the entry of Treblinka, at the ramps of Birkenau and Majdanek and with joy killed Jews. Far worse there was an operation paper clip and the U.S, Army helped a war criminal to escape to
    South America. Who on this website really cares, none of you.
