28. They contribute a lot to SS..

There is $519 billion suspence file-

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/02/ss_secret_stash.html
This passage is halfway down the page under Roadblock..

The usage of fake or stolen Social Security numbers for illegal immigrants would seem to be an issue of national concern. However, solving the problem is even more difficult than tracking the causes.

The Social Security Administration counts its total intake -- including monies placed in the suspense file -- for its earnings reports.

If the undocumented workers using fake SSNs suddenly started claiming the benefits they were due, the total Social Security surplus would have to be recalculated, leading to a greater possibility of the fund drying up.


Edited for my grammar issues..
