To amend the Social Security Act to provide for the termination of
social security benefits for individuals who participated in Nazi
persecution, and for other purposes. <<NOTE: Dec. 18, 2014 - [H.R.

based on the wages and self-employment income of any other
individual shall be paid to such individual for any month after
