Q: What does the Social Security Number stand for?

The Social Security Number is a nine-digit number on a Social Security Card, which every permanent citizen, as well as a temporary worker in the USA has, issued by the Social Security Administration. Its first usage was to track individuals who illegally work in the USA, but today it became a national identification number. It helps people record their salaries and earnings.

Q: What is the Social Security Card used for?

The USA government has three different types of Social Security cards issued. One type of it is issued to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Another two types of Social Security cards differ and they are usually given to people asking for work permit in the USA. On one of them there is an inscription “not valid for employment" thus meaning that he/she has not gotten the work permit, while the other reads "valid for work only with DHS authorization", which means that those people have temporary work authorization.

Q: How can I get the Social Security Number and do I need one?

A Social Security number, as well as the card, may be gained by filling in the Application for a Social Security Number Card. In order to apply for it, you will need to have the required documents which must be original, since copies are not accepted, even if they are notarized. You need the card if you want to get a job in the USA or use other government services and benefits.
