Other basically means illegal, and there's no such thing as an illegal allowed to work.
A work permit is a proof of legal presence (it is listed as a valid immigration document on SSA's site as well). You do not hold legal status but you're nonetheless legally present in US. In addition being granted deferred action also makes you legally present in the country, even if you do not have a work permit, as do a bunch of other things (ex. being brought in for trial from abroad) without giving you legal status.

To prove your U.S. immigration status, you must show us your current U.S. immigration document, such as Form I-551 (Lawful Permanent Resident Card, Machine Readable Immigrant Visa), I-766 (work permit) or I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record).

When you apply you put down Legal Alien Allowed to Work, not other.

and that you meet all the requirements for the government benefit. NOTE: Most agencies do not require
that you have a Social Security number. Contact us to see if your reason qualifies for a Social Security
number.
