Report No. HEHS-99-102
Subject
Summary:

GAO found that recently naturalized citizens generally used Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits at a higher rate in 1997 than did the native-born. For example, 8.3 percent of the 927,338 immigrants who were recently naturalized received SSI benefits during 1997. The rate for native-born citizens is 2.4 percent. The benefits paid by the federal and state governments in 1997 to the recently naturalized citizens included in GAO's review totaled about $735 million for four programs. This figures reflects nationwide data for the SSI program, as well as data from five states for the Medicaid and Food Stamp programs and from four states for the TANF program. Overall, the percentage of benefits paid to recently naturalized citizens in each program was about one percent or less of the total benefits paid to all recipients.
