Legal Question in Immigration Law in Hawaii

Illegal Immigrants

*If an illegal immigrant uses a false ID, can they collect the social security they paid in?

*If an illegal immigrant becomes legal, can their S.S. be fixed so their wages paid in under the false name be combined with the wages they're paying in under their real name?

Could you please let me know if you have any information as soon as possible? Thank you for your kind attention in this matter.
