If you have entered the U.S. as a permanant resident, technically you are authorized to work, but it might be difficult to get hired and/or paid without an SSN.

Did you check off on the DS-230 that you wanted to be assigned an SSN? If you did and have not recived your SSN card within 3 weeks you will need to go into an SSA office to apply.

You are work auth due to the I-551 stamp in passport, however employers are required to collect taxes and will require an SSN to do this, so may or may not hire you. Some will with the stipulation that you supply them with the card and number shortly after hiring you.
