Permit the Department of State (DOS) and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to Collect Information Needed to Assign Social Security Numbers (SSNs) to Aliens

Riepilogo

We are proposing to provide a description of how DOS and INS will provide the SSA with information, collected as part of the immigration process, to enable SSA to assign SSNs and issue SSN cards to lawfully admitted aliens. We also propose: to amend the rule on the presumption of authority of a nonimmigrant alien to accept employment to include circumstances where a Form I-94, ``Arrival-Departure Record,'' has not been issued by INS; to remove outdated rules on school and alien legalization enumeration; to remove outdated rules on the application for a nonwork SSN; and to specifically acknowledge the requirement to complete a Form SS-5, ``Application For A Social Security Card,'' to obtain a duplicate SSN card.
