SS is scheduled to run out of fund in 2035 so why is Biden planning to pay benefits to refugees from Ukraine?

Biden Signed H.R. 7691 Qualifying Refugees From Ukraine SS benefits.

According to the text of H.R. 7691, the key eligibility requirements for Ukrainian parolees to receive benefits under this Act are:

1. They must be a citizen or national of Ukraine, or a person who last habitually resided in Ukraine.[1]

2. They must have been paroled into the United States between February 24, 2022 and September 30, 2023, OR paroled after September 30, 2023 if they are:
a) The spouse or child of someone paroled between Feb 24, 2022 - Sept 30, 2023, OR
b) The parent, legal guardian, or primary caregiver of an unaccompanied Ukrainian child paroled between Feb 24, 2022 - Sept 30, 2023.[1][3]

3. Their parole status must not have been terminated by the Department of Homeland Security.[1][3]

4. They must meet all other program eligibility requirements, such as income, resources, age, disability status, etc. for the specific benefit programs.[3]

The Act specifically allows these paroled Ukrainians to receive resettlement assistance, entitlement programs, and other refugee benefits, as well as services for unaccompanied children, without having their sponsor's income and resources counted against them.[1][3]
