Title: ●Assignment of Social Security Administration Numbers (SSN) for Non-Work Purposes (751P)
Abstract: SSA is providing advance notice of proposed rulemaking regarding when we will assign an SSN to an alien who is legally in the United States (U.S.) but not under authority of law permitting him or her to work in the U.S. We are considering a proposal to assign an SSN to an alien who is legally in the U.S. but does not have authorization to work only if there is a Federal statute or regulation that requires the alien to furnish an SSN to receive a federally-funded benefit or service. Under such a proposal, we would no longer assign an SSN to an alien if the alien's sole reason for applying for the SSN is to satisfy a State or local statute or regulation that requires an individual to furnish an SSN in order to receive a benefit or service. The intent of such a proposed change would be to reduce the possibility of fraud through misuse of SSNs.
