Hi Monkeys,
Need your help. I am an international student who will do SA this coming summer. I have not been able to apply for SSN since last March (when offices were closed) and I am starting to worry about how to apply for SSN since offices are closed. Did anyone apply online? Did your office take an in-person appointment? Or eventually, can you do a SA without SSN?
Thanks a lot

Aren't SSN offices open right now?
Nope, they are still closed

You need SSN to work legally. according to the SSN website they are prioritizing certain groups, so I'd call them and ask.
Thanks, that’s helpful
I am an international student that was an SA this summer. I was similarly concerned since the SSA offices were closed. However I believe they are still processing on a case by case basis even though per se the offices are still closed. I called my local office and they told me to mail in all the documents and I was able to receive my SSN within ~2 weeks of applying.
you only get to begin this process 30 days before the start date right?
No, if you already had another CPT
wow, did you email your passport. I was told never to email it. Thanks anyway
Yeah you'll have to mail in the passport. Doesn't feel great but not much choice.
F1 status can apply for SSN after a minimum of 10 days of physical presence in the USA (and not earlier than 30 days before starting employment, I believe)
SSA requries, afaik:
Passport, I-20, all valid I94 documents (online), employment paperwork, and all authorization for OPT/CPT/EAD/hardship waivers
all of this should be explained by the intl. student office, but I guess they are all virtual now?
Can I ask you something? I did an internship last summer and got cpt but I dld not apply to ssn. Can I apply for a ssn now (I don't have any jobs lined up now)?
I had the same situation. Call your local SSN office and they’ll schedule an appointment and make sure to ask them what paperwork you need to bring.
Did you go there in-person or mail in your documents?
You have to go in-person for the appointment
