SSNumber use for?

[majca 0]

Hi everybody,

I just got my SSNumber last August. I'm a K3 visa holder. I filed my EAD first, my Adjustment of Status not yet but i will soon.

Last week my husband tried to include me in his bank but the employee of the bank says that my SSNumber is invalid. Is it normal that it's invalid if the SSN does not have 1 month yet(new)? Can i use my SSNumber to get a driver's license, open a bank account, get a California ID and etc? They put something in my SSCard it says "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AUTHORIZATION".

The lady(employee of SSA) who assisted me in SSA says that i can use my SSNumber in opening a bank account and etc...So I'm a little confused right now.

Thanks for the response.

A Social Security number (SSN) card having the legend, “VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION,” only means that you cannot use the SSN card as proof of authorization to work in the United States. It does not otherwise affect the validity of the card or number.

The SSN consists of Area-Group-Serial (AAA-GG-SSSS):

http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnweb.htm

The High Group list shows the highest Group number within each Area that is in the process of being assigned and is updated monthly. Some businesses use our High Group list to determine if an SSN is valid. The company doing the verification may be using an old High Group list or your SSN was assigned from a Group within your SSN Area that has recently begun to be assigned.

You may find links to the current and previous months High Group lists on the SSA site:

When am I legally required to provide my Social Security number:

It means that you need to get your EAD first before you could start work. You could use your SSN in opening an account, getting your health insurance and other stuff that you want to do that requires SSN.

I have my EAD card already. We went to SSA this morning and asked about that, if I can use in anything that requires SSN and they said I can.
