Title: Evidence Requirement for Assignment of Social Security Numbers (SSNs); Assignment of SSNs to Foreign Students (960F) 
Abstract: We revised our rules for assigning Social Security Numbers (SSNs) to foreign academic students in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) classification status F-1. Specifically, we added additional evidentiary requirements for F-1 students who apply for SSNs. In addition to meeting SSA's requirement to provide evidence of age, identity, legal alien status, and work authorization, an F-1 student who does not have a valid DHS issued Employment Authorization Document (EAD) will be required to present evidence that on-campus employment has been secured before we will assign an SSN.
