The SSI administration is forcing immigrants from Russia to apply for pensions from Russia. Is that legal?
To receive SSI, you must be a USA citizen. The Oath of Allegiance says that immigrant gives up existing citizenship. To receive pension from Russia, you must be a Russian citizen with valid Russian passport. If an immigrant obeyed the Oath - he did not renew his Russian passport after becoming USA citizen. If SSI administration forces such immigrant to renew his Russian passport - are they forcing the immigrant to not to obey the Oath?
