Has anyone else heard of this?!? I've never been able to get a job without an SS card. Is this some special loophole that only illegals are elegible for?
And I liked this one too:
Generally, an alien may obtain an SSN in three instances: (1) the alien is a permanent resident or has a legal status permitting employment in the United States; (2) the alien lacks such status but has a valid nonwork purpose that requires an SSN; or (3) the alien resides in the United States, has no evidence of alien status, and needs the SSN by law as a condition for receiving a federally-funded benefit. In this last case the alien may receive an SSN limited to a nonwork purpose. 20 C.F.R. § 422.104(a).
