When they input your info, SSA will know that you're there through DACA. You put "Legal Alien Allowed to Work" because this is what will give you a SSN that can be used for work. If you check "Other" it should be because you're only looking to get SS benefits without using it for work. Read the instructions on the SS-5 application. I went to the office today and checked "Legal Alien Allowed to Work" and the lady didn't say anything. If I had been wrong, I would've been told to change it. |
A legal alien allowed to work could be someone with lawful status and lawful presence, examples are: TPS beneficiaires, permanent or conditional residents, H-1B and k-1 visa holders, etc.
A legal alien not allowed to work could be an asylum seeker, a foreign student, or anyone else who is entitled to a social security number but did not apply or qualify for employment authorization but has both lawful status and presence in this country.
The distinction is important because it determines the legend on social security cards. In this case both "Legal alien allowed to work" and "other" might result in having the proper legend printed on the SS card contingent on your immigration status verification.
My point is, it won't make a difference whether you select one or the other but DACA beneficiaries need to understand that they are not a legal aliens.
