H4和F2也可以申請SSN!!!

在沒有社會安全號的日子裏簡直是痛苦啊。上醫院看病問你社會安全號，考駕照問你要社會安全號，去考CLEP問你要社會安全號，買醫療保險買汽車保險問你要社會安全號,買車後上交通局辦TITLE要社會安全號，辦汽車牌照要社會安全號，考護士執照也要社會安全號，銀行開戶要社會安全號，辦信用卡要社會安全號，安裝電話需要社會安全號，租房子要社會安全號，裝有線電視要社會安全號，開煤氣戶口要社會安全號，報稅更不用說需要社會安全號~~~~~需要社會安全號的地方多著呢，大家想一想總結一下還有那些地方需要社會安全號。。。。。。總之一句話，幹什麽都要社會安全號碼！！！ 前不久我給我們州的護士執照委員會EMAIL問我沒有社會安全號碼但是我有稅號(ITIN)，我可以考RN執照嗎。他們回EMAIL告訴我說不行。我就給他們回EMAIL說我想請他們寫封信我去申請社會安全號(SSN)，他們很快就按照我的要求寫好信寄給了我！我拿著這封信到本地社會安全署申請社會安全號(SSN)，兩個月後我就拿到了社會安全號(SSN)。我很開心！所以H4，F2們，你們即使不是護士不考護士執照也可以照我的辦法辦，比如說你們可以寫EMAIL到你們自己州的護士執照委員會，先問他們說你是H4沒有社會安全號碼要考護士執照，他們肯定會說不行，然後你們再請他們寫信，他們一般來說會幫你們的，而且他們不會看你任何證件就幫你寫信。因為美國人就是這樣信任人，然後你拿著信到自己最近的社會安全署就可以辦社會安全號碼了！！！ 但是現在以申請駕照需要社會安全號已經行不通了！

Question
I am lawfully admitted to the US who is not allowed to work, but I still need a Social Security Number. How do I obtain one?

Answer
Many entities routinely ask for a person’s Social Security number under the assumption that everyone has one. However, if you are lawfully admitted to the U.S. but do not have work authorization, you must have a valid nonwork reason for needing a Social Security number before we can assign you one.

SSA will currently issue SSNs to noncitizens who are not otherwise eligible for SSNs for the following nonwork purposes:

- A Federal statute or regulation requires that the noncitizen provide his/her SSN to get the particular benefit or service; or
- A State or local law requires the alien to provide his/her SSN to get public assistance benefits to which the noncitizen has established entitlement.

NOTE: Effective October 27, 2003 we do not assign an SSN when your only reason for needing an SSN is to comply with a state statute requiring an SSN for the issuance of a driver’s license.

Under these circumstances the application for an SSN must be accompanied by documentation from the appropriate government entity explaining the need for the SSN. The documentation must be dated and on letterhead stationery. It must specifically identify the noncitizen, the nonwork reason for which an SSN is required, the relevant statute or regulation, and the name and telephone number of an official to contact so that the information provided may be verified. It should state that the noncitizen completed all the requirements to receive the benefit/service except for an SSN.

If you believe that you qualify for a Social Security Number based on the above, you may obtain an application from http://www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.html.


To Apply for a Social Security Number--

• Download the form to apply for a Social Security card at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.html; or
• Call or visit one of our offices to apply for a number (1-800-772-1213); and
• Provide original documents showing your age, identity and lawful alien status (including your permission to work in the U.S.). You must provide at least two documents.

If you’re a noncitizen, we must verify your documents with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) before we issue a SSN card. We will issue the card within two days of receiving verification from DHS. Most of the time, we can quickly verify your documents online with DHS. If DHS can’t verify your documents online, it may take several weeks or months to respond to Social Security's request. For more details, please see the answer to the Frequently Asked Question, How is SSA protecting Social Security numbers?

If you don't have permission to work, but still need a number for one of the reasons mentioned above, you must provide a statement on letterhead stationery from the government agency that is requiring you to provide an SSN. The letter must—

• specifically identify you as the applicant;
• cite the law requiring you to have a Social Security number; and
• indicate that you meet all the agency's requirements to get the benefit or service except for having an SSN.

If you are assigned a number for nonwork purposes, you can't use it to work. If you use it to work, we may inform DHS.
