Yeah just for shits and giggles

Better make one called what's referred action for.

Sad thing it would get 4 pages of posts

seriously?? If you are, im gonna get off my computer and go outside for a bit.:P

Damn! last time I ever ask a goddamn question on here haha. I didn't mean in general what is an SSN for, I know what it's for! I thought SSNs were only for people with legal status that's why I was confused.

What if I *was* some 16 y/o and thought oh okay I can just go work now when that's not the case. I meant that I found it strange that I just got the EAD with no instructions on what else to do. Had I never come on this website I would've never known that we were allowed to apply for one. I thought we just had to show the EAD as far as working purposes.

Lol u took a beating there. Anyways everyone who gets an ead is allowed to apply for an ssn. In the case of people born here, the hospital makes a request for the baby and the card is later delivered in the mail along with a birth certificate. Anyways if you didn't know so much, you can google all about it and learn the history behind it as well as its used.

loooool! and here I thought the racist gringos were the assholes! As I explained already, I thought as far as working that we only needed our EAD.

Asshole are like assholes, everybody has one. As we said you need a SSN for everything. Especially work. If I'm not mistaking I think there's a mention on SSN on the approval letters.

There isn't. At least not on mine. Nor is it mentioned in the letter the EAD came with.

I could of swear that I saw something about SSN eligibility on one of them papers. Did you filled out the application by yourself or used a lawyer?
