Watchdog Report Says Nazis Received Social Security In Life After War

In a report triggered by an Associated Press investigation, the top watchdog at the Social Security Administration found the agency paid $20.2 million in benefits to more than 130 suspected Nazi war criminals.
The Social Security Administration last year refused AP's request for those figures.
The payments are far greater than previously estimated and occurred between February 1962 and January 2015, when a new law called the No Social Security for Nazis Act kicked in and ended retirement payments for four beneficiaries.
The report does not include the names of any Nazi suspects who received benefits.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney requested that the Social Security Administration's inspector general look into the scope of the payments following AP's investigation, which was published in October 2014.
