Does my father get new S.S#

[vishal.p 1]

I am bringing my father who was lived here in US for 9 years and went to India with green card valid but expired in 4 month. Long story short I had to do 1-130 and after long ordeal process now his appointment is next week at Mumbai Embassy.

My questions: What happens to his social security number all the amount he accumulated. Will he get new SS along with his new green card? He still has US valid driver’s license.

Does my father new Social Security card?

No, a person's SS# is their own number forever, even after death.

No--a social security number is forever--it never changes, and if he acquired quarters of eligibility, they are still valid--at least they would be if he hadn't let the green card lapse. You can find out for sure with a quick call to the SS administration, or you can go to their web site and check using his current SS#.

He needs 40 quarters before he can ever collect a dime, however, if he was working legally the entire 9 years, that would be 36 quarters, so just one more year would make him eligible.

no. he won't get a new number, and in all his paperwork, he should have submitted the ss number. he'll get a new card but same number.

and they might ask him why does he want a GC and will he live in the US, why did he let his GC expire.
