I need a new Social Security card.
You can only apply for a Social Security number if you have permission to work from the DHS.
Are you a noncitizen with permission to work in the U.S,?
Yes, I have permission to work.
================
What if I'm a J-1 student?
In this case, you will need to provide us a letter from your sponsor. This letter should be on sponsor letterhead with an original signature that authorizes your employment.
As a foreign worker, do I need any other documentation?
Yes. We will need to see your I-94 Arrival/Departure Record or admission stamp in your unexpired foreign passport showing that you have permission to work.
What happens if I use my Tax ID number for work without permission to do so?
In this case, we would need to inform DHS and they would carry out the matter.
Am I able to get general assistance benefits without providing a SSN?
No. An SSN is required.
