yes your social security number would be needed.\nThen you would need to take a placement test.\nA votech school would be a good place to get a GED at.\n\nThere are also online courses but you truly would benefit more from having a teacher in a classroom to help explain things one on one.

Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, permits payment of Social Security benefits to noncitizens living in the United States (U.S.) only if they are lawfully present in this country. The law requires that anyone living in the U.S. who applies for Social Security benefits on or after December 1, 1996, must provide evidence that he or she is a U.S. citizen or U.S. national, or an alien lawfully present in the U.S. as determined by the Attorney General.\n\nThis law does not affect:\n\n    * Social Security benefits for people residing outside the U.S.;\n    * Social Security benefits for people who applied before December 1, 1996; or\n    * Entitlement to the lump sum death payment.\n\nFor more information, you may call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. Our representatives there will be glad to help you.\n\nIf you live outside the U.S., see http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foreign/ for information on services in other countries. If you reside in the United States you can apply for benefits online at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/applyforbenefits. You can find more information about whether you can receive benefits abroad as a non-U.S. citizen in the booklet, Your Payments While You Are Outside the United States (SSA Publication No. 05-10137) at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10137.html.

I think you have to have a Social Security Number to open a bank account. The best solution is to just get the necessary forms from the INS, file for a Visa and get yourself documented so you can do things like open checking accounts, rent better housing, earn credit and earn better pay.

He can request the money that he paid into the Social Security, I believe that he has to do that request through the treasury department.  He also must have the proof that he paid money into the system.  He also must have the information from when he was a legal resident in the U.S.

I would first document your grievances in writing by certified mail. In many states it is illegal to publicize a social security number of someone else. Everywhere it is improper.\n\nFor the rest, the operative word in legal circles is "civility". You have, so long as you are yourself civil, a right to demand that from any lawyer and any law office.\n\nHow far you want to take it should depend on whether your financial interests rather than just your pride are compromised.\n\nAlways see your prospective lawyer in context before hiring him or her. I tell people to visit the courthouse and see them in action, talk to their clients.

Basically they can have your identity, especially financially. \nSome examples of what they can do : \n\n1. Take out a loan in your name (especially online) \n2.  Open a credit card in your name \n3.  Get a job in your name ( increasingly used by illegal immigrants)\n4.  Access your already existing accounts and records \n\nSo it's really important to be careful and not let anyone have your social security number.  A good precaution is not to keep your social security card in your purse.  This is because, if your purse is stolen not only do they have your SS number but also your ID and any other information they would need to commit identity theft. \nIf someone already has your social security number, act as quickly as possible.   Contact the government for help and also order a credit report to see if any accounts have been opened.   Free credits are available for US citizens 3 times per year.   This can be done online. \n\nIf someone ever does obtain your social security number, this is a great site for help: \nhttp://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fraud/idtheft.html#What%20Can%20I%20Do%20About%20Identity%20Theft

Depends on how the person is being hired.  Technically in the United States the answer is "yes" for any position.  On a more practical level, however, the answer is no if the person is being hired privately.  People in politics have gotten in trouble for hiring maids/nannies without a SSN, but unless you have political asperations it is likely that that a person would not be asked for a SSN, or need to ask for one, if they are hiring a tutor for their indvidual son or daughter.  Now if a person is opening a business, or is being hired by a tutoring business, then the chances of getting caught go up considerably and a SSN would be required.

Assuming you mean a business' EIN, no you can't use it as a social security #.\n\n"Warning: Please be advised that it is against the law to use an EIN for anything other than\nbusiness use. An EIN cannot be used as a Social Security Number." IRS Pub 1635, pg 5

There are quite a few people who work for UCLA, the Post Office and several other organizations who are not required to have social security numbers,because their employers carry their own reirement fund..  I don't know how that works for paying taxes and opening bank accounts; but. it's true they don't have ssa#'s.\n\n  Issuing sa#'s to babies is a fairly recent development (within the last 20-25 years).  I think the people who don't have ssa#'s started working for an exempted company before they applied for a card.  But, yes, they're perfectly legal.  Remember, a social security card was never intended to be a form of identification for anything but retirement.  I don't even think it's legal to require that a person produce a social security card as a form of I.D.

no this is a fallacy they do not have verifiable social security numbers which you need for public assistance, also those that work often pay taxes and social security on stolen social security numbers and they don't get anything back

We already have this, it is called the Social Security Card.\n\nEvery employer can call the SSA and verify the information of a given social security number.  Our government has just made it so difficult to do this that most employers will not take the time.\n\nWhen you are hired for a job, you are supposed to provide I-9 documentation.  You can use a passport, or state issued id & social security card (not just number), or birth certificate & ss card, etc.  \n\nThere are already laws and fines in place regarding improperly documenting your workers.  The problem is our elected officials would rather waste our money & time by presenting completely new regulations (justifying their jobs) instead of making the appropriate government administration enforce the laws we already have.\n\nPoliticians are becoming better and better at doing nothing but creating redundent worthless laws.  And we keep re-electing them.\n\nSo I would NOT vote for this ridiculous limit on my freedom and waste of the American taxpayers' monies.

Dude, you already asked this.\n\nA social security number is required to work in the United States. In order for an F-1 student to receive a social security number, the student must\n\nBe in F-1 status \nRegister full-time for classes \nObtain a written employment offer (new regulation as of 10/12/04) \nRequest a letter from International Student Services to apply for a Social Security card Once the letter is prepared, the student should go in person to the local Social Security office to apply for a Social Security card. Remember to bring your I-20, passport, visa, I-94 card and letters. The Social Security Office will send your Social Security card via mail in about 2-4 weeks.

it is really crucial to have a SSN if you plan on getting a credit card in the US. better try international credit cards. you'll have a better chance of getting one if you are financially stable.
