Myth: Non-citizens can’t get Social Security Numbers.
SMART READER January 30, 2020 11 011620
Fact: Only certain non-citizens are eligible to receive a
Social Security number. If an immigrant is authorized to
work temporarily through a work visa, a temporary work-
authorized status (like Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA)), or Temporary Protected Status, a Social
Security number is issued and remains valid for the length
of the work authorization period. Green card holders,
refugees, asylees, and certain other non-citizens who are
allowed the live and work in the United States indefinitely
are also eligible for a Social Security number with no
restrictions. Only undocumented immigrants are not
eligible to obtain a Social Security number.

Myth: Undocumented workers can’t file tax returns
without a valid Social Security Number.

Fact: Although certain non-citizens are eligible to receive
Social Security numbers to pay taxes, unauthorized
immigrants are ineligible to receive one. However, the law
still requires that individuals who reside in the United States
(whether legally or not) and earn income here must pay
taxes on that income.This means they must file a tax return
regardless of whether the income was earned as an
undocumented worker. The IRS will not allow a tax return
to be filed with a fake or stolen Social Security number,
therefore, unauthorized workers who wish to file their
taxes must find another way. Many use the Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), which allows
immigrants without Social Security numbers to legally file
tax returns and claim the income reported on their W-2s to
the IRS.

Myth: Undocumented immigrants receive public benefits
to which they are not entitled.

Fact: Undocumented immigrants are eligible for very few
federal benefits, which are limited to emergency service
Medicaid and the Child Tax Credit (for ITIN holders only).
Undocumented immigrants cannot receive the following
public benefits: Social Security (retirement or disability),
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid (other than
emergency), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP or “food stamps”), Unemployment Insurance,
Affordable Care Act Marketplace Subsidies, or Pell Grants &
Student Loans.

20 SMART READER January 30, 2020 Super Bowl fever
sweeps Miami

Fans who plan to attend Super Bowl LIV
between the Kansas City Chiefs and San
Francisco 49ers in Florida on Feb. 2 will pay
much more than in previous years as ticket
prices surge to unprecedented levels. The
average price on the resale market for
Super Bowl LIV is 32 percent more than
last year, according to the NFL's official
ticketing partner,Ticketmaster.

Super Bowl LIII tickets in 2019 cost an
average of $6,740, but that has jumped to
$8,904 this year. That's also an enormous
amount more compared to what fans spent
when the Chiefs played in 1970's Super
Bowl IV -- their most recent appearance.Tom Henschel, 77, paid $15 for his
ticket to that game, in which the Chiefs beat the MinnesotaVikings at Tulane
Stadium in New Orleans. He plans to be in Miami to continue his streak.

"The first three Super Bowl tickets were $12 each," said Henschel, who
has attended every championship game. "They went to $15 for five years.
Then they went to $20, $30, $40 and more." Henschel lives in the Tampa,
Fla., area, and is one of three living members of the Never Miss A Super
Bowl Club. He owns every program and ticket from his 53 Super Bowls. "If
I ever lost them, it would be like losing my arms," Henschel said.

Super Bowl ticket prices have continued to rise, reaching an average face-
value price of $1,000 in 2008, with the secondary market cost significantly
higher. The last time the 49ers played in the Super Bowl, in 2013, average
ticket prices reached $3,673 on the secondary market after the NFC
Championship. And that was cheap by today's standards.

"The Super Bowl is getting to the point where it's not for the average,
die-hard fan," said Henschel, who has a deal with the NFL to pay face value
for his tickets. "It's for the rich and famous." Face value usually means
$1,000 to $2,000 per ticket.

A spokesperson for the Miami International Airport said an additional
30,000 to 40,000 passengers are expected to fly in and out of the city daily
in the days surrounding the game. That includes fans, VIPs, league officials
and media from around the world. A Ticketmaster survey found that the
Super Bowl is a super attraction for NFL fans. Some 35 percent would give
up drinking alcohol for a year and 21 percent would give up their vacation
days to watch their team play live in the big game. The NFL has a long
history of hosting in Miami -- 10 times previously -- and has a healthy
budget when funding the annual event.

The NFL will splurge to make the experience special for fans as the
league celebrates its 100th anniversary. Eric Finkelstein, NFL senior
director of event operations, declined to reveal how much the league is
spending, but did say the NFL makes an investment to make the game as
big as possible.

"We are prepared to put on an amazing show and get everything ready
with what should be an amazing matchup between two great teams,"

Finkelstein said. Halftime will feature Shakira and Jennifer
Lopez, and Demi Lovato will sing the national anthem before
the teams take the field.

Also, the NFL is planning more outside-the-game
attractions than any other Super Bowl. More than a dozen
parties are planned, and several feature big-name celebrities
including Lizzo, DJ Khaled, Maroon 5, Snoop Dogg, Guns N'
Roses, Harry Styles, Shaquille O'Neal, Pitbull, Lil Wayne, Black
Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga.

And Miami remains a popular venue in the league's eyes.
Among the many reasons is the weather, with the
temperature expected to be around 70 degrees at kickoff.

"There is a reason why we keep coming back," Finkelstein
said. "It's a perfect setting for what will be a great matchup."

the big game - and of course
the commericals - tune in to
