More than three dozen lawmakers from both Republican and Democratic parties and both chambers introduced the legislation last month after an Associated Press investigation showed that dozens of suspected World War Two criminals had collected millions of dollars in Social Security payments.
Many had lied about their Nazi past to get into the United States after the war.
