No, his father can not apply for disability at all because he has not worked at all here in the USA. He does not just get to come here and file for SSDI without working for it. Also the mother will not be able to get any benefits either.

HI,

 

Because they are new immigrants and have never worked in the US and contributed to the system, their options will be very limited for seeking full benefits.

 

They have options for affordable healthcare. Read the thread below.

Fortunately the Parents have a Sponsor to meet their needs together with any benefits, pensions they receive which hopefully they can still collect on having moved to the US.

If he sponsored his parents immigrating to the USA, then he has taken financial responsibility for their needs.

UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS IS A “QUALIFIED ALIEN” ELIGIBLE FOR SSI?

If you are in one of the seven "qualified alien" categories listed above, or have been determined to be a “deemed qualified alien” because you have been subjected to battery or extreme cruelty, you may be eligible for SSI benefits if you have limited income and resources and are aged, blind, or disabled and also meet one of the following conditions:

1. You were receiving SSI and lawfully residing in the U.S. on August 22, 1996.
   
2. You are a Lawfully Admitted for Permanent Residence (LAPR) with 40 qualifying quarters of earnings.  Work done by your spouse or parent(s) may also count toward the 40 quarters of earnings, but only for getting SSI.
   
   We cannot count quarters of earnings earned after December 31, 1996, if you, your spouse, or your parent(s) worked or received certain benefits from the U.S. government based on limited income and resources during that period.
    
   IMPORTANT: If you entered the U.S. for the first time on or after August 22, 1996, then you may not be eligible for SSI for the first five years as a LAPR, even if you have 40 qualifying quarters of earnings.
3. You are currently on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, or you are an honorably discharged veteran and your discharge is not because you are an alien. This condition may also apply if you are the spouse, widow(er), or dependent child of certain U.S. military personnel.
   
4. You were lawfully residing in the United States on August 22, 1996, and you are blind or disabled.
   
5. You may receive SSI for a maximum of 7 years from the date DHS granted you qualified alien status in one of the following categories, and the status was granted within seven years of filing for SSI:

Refugee admitted to the United States (U.S.) under section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA);

Asylee admitted to the U.S. under section 208 of the INA;

Alien whose deportation was withheld under section 243(h) of the INA or whose removal is withheld under section 241(b)(3)of the INA;

Admitted as a "Cuban or Haitian entrant"- as defined under section 501(e) of the Refugee Education Assistance Act of 1980 or in a status that is to be treated as a "Cuban/Haitian entrant" for SSI purposes; or

"Amerasian immigrant" pursuant to P.L. 100-202, with a class admission of AM-1 through AM-8.

Yes, This!

 OP,   I think your friend or whomever sponsored the parents needs to review the responsibilities of the I864 they signed.

Mother is less than retirement age and many work past that even when disabled. She needs to get a J-O-B.

 

And people wonder why there is opposition to the immigration benefit for parents of citizens ...

Foreign assets and income count toward the eligibility for welfare benefits.  They should not even think about lying.
