earned benefits for workers and their families, should they 

retire, become disabled, or die.

persecution to be allowed to enter the United States or to 

reap the benefits of United States residency or citizenship, 

including participation in the Nation’s Social Security program.

(42 U.S.C. 402(n)(3)) is amended to read as follows: 

‘‘(3) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection— 

‘‘(A) an individual against whom a final order of removal 

has been issued under section 237(a)(4)(D) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act on grounds of participation in Nazi persecution shall be considered to have been removed under such 

section as of the date on which such order became final; 

‘‘(B) an individual with respect to whom an order admitting 

the individual to citizenship has been revoked and set aside 

under section 340 of the Immigration and Nationality Act in 

any case in which the revocation and setting aside is based 

on conduct described in section 212(a)(3)(E)(i) of such Act

about such conduct shall be considered to have been removed 

as described in paragraph (1) as of the date of such revocation 

and setting aside; and 

‘‘(C) an individual who pursuant to a settlement agreement 

with the Attorney General has admitted to conduct described 

in section 212(a)(3)(E)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality 

Act (relating to participation in Nazi persecution) and who 

pursuant to such settlement agreement has lost status as a 

national of the United States by a renunciation under section 

42 USC 402 note.
