(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.) No Social Security for Nazis Act - Amends title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) of the Social Security Act (SSA) to consider the following individuals to be removed under the Immigration and Nationality Act and so to have their OASDI benefits terminated: an individual with respect to whom an order admitting the individual to citizenship has been revoked and set aside where such action is based on conduct relating to participation in Nazi persecution, concealment of a material fact about such conduct, or willful misrepresentation about such conduct; and
an individual who, pursuant to a settlement agreement with the Attorney General (AG), has admitted to such conduct and has lost status as a U.S. national by renouncing that status.
Requires such individuals to have been considered removed under such Act as of the date of the revocation, setting aside, or renunciation.
Prohibits such individuals from receiving other Social Security benefits based on the wages and self-employment income of any other individual.
Prohibits the payment to such individuals also of any benefits under SSA tile XVI (Supplemental Security Income) (SSI).
Requires the AG or the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) to notify the Commissioner of Social Security of such revocations, setting asides, and renunciations of nationality.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
This bill has been enacted. It is law.
The record's latest action, on December 18, 2014: Became Public Law No: 113-270.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
SAM JOHNSON (R-TX) introduced it on November 19, 2014, and 48 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 24 Democrats, 24 Republicans.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
