I personally do not track or know every specific on it but it was described to me by the people that do as recently as Monday.

OK update.... I just asked one of the guys to give me more info on it,,,, He said it starts with a H-1b work visa.. The programmers come and work under that visa for 6 years then get their green cards... Mean while they never pay Social security taxes because India does not have a SS program (just like some other countries),,, They then get their Green card and the SS dept never recoups their taxes yet they immediately qualify for Social security and then pay SS tax and many stay in the U.S. as contributors.... But they run a scam with getting their parents here supposedly working on the same type h-1b visa for a period of time (6 years most of which is spent abroad) in which they really never work in the U.S. then once they get their green card they too qualify for SS and have never paid in,,,, now they go back to their country and live well,,,, and we pay for it,,,

Hope thats more clear..... It is kinda hard to explain and put it all into words. I have no idea about the Medicare.... I am sure you are right....



,

I guess those people are commiting fraud and basically robbing me so what can our government do about it to press charges against them and return our money?

I am sick of paying 15% SS and medicare tax and risk not ever seeing a penny when it comes time for me to collect. I'd like to have a choice but unfortunately I do not.

Time for the government to make some changes to head off the scammers.
