※ 引述《HYL (@Seattle)》之铭言： : 分享一下最近办 SSN的经验，10月底送出，经过四个月後， : 中间历经多次与 SSA USCIS踢皮球的争斗，在二月底拿到口 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 可以请问一下是为什麽吗? : 头通知，三月初才收到卡片。 : 有机会的话，越早办 SSN越好，要不然被这一拖，找工作都 : 很难 这里分享一下恐怖的美国Student First Center给我的资讯: 他竟然跟我说我一定拿不到SSN，说一定要是美国居民才拿得到SSN 身为外国人只能拿到TIN，还跟我说台湾人给我的资讯是错的， 因为他们不是美国人所以不懂。。SSN只有US citizen才拿得到 我真的被搞到快疯了，两边说的资讯差太多，只好自己想办法 :S 上网google搜了一下TIN: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=96696,00.html Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN) A Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is an identification number used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the administration of tax laws. It is issued either by the Social Security Administration (SSA) or by the IRS. A Social Security number (SSN) is issued by the SSA whereas all other TINs are issued by the IRS. Taxpayer Identification Numbers * Social Security Number "SSN" * Employer Identification Number "EIN" * Individual Taxpayer Identification Number "ITIN" * Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S. Adoptions "ATIN" * Preparer Taxpayer Identification Number "PTIN" 我仔细看了一下TIN里的 sub(附属): SSN 说明 You will need to complete Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card (PDF). You also must submit evidence of your identity, age, and U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status. For more information please see the Social Security web site. Form SS-5 is also available by calling 1-800-772-1213 or visiting your local Social Security office. These services are free. 里头说我是 lawful alien 也可以申请SSN呀 那不就是Student First Center 逻辑搞错? 资讯错误? 名称错误? TIN 是一个较大子集，可是他不知道， 他是误把 ITIN = TIN 吗? 真的是太恐怖了。。我现在谁都不信，只敢自己上官方网站查证。 :S 或者一边问，一边查证。。 还有SSN的问题，我也上网搜了一下 http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/ssa.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/ssa.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=377&p_created=961788631&p_sid=_hwgGwyj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NDMsNDMmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWFsaWVuIFNTTg**&p_li=&p_topview=1 根据以上资讯， Do legal aliens need a Social Security number to work? As an employer, you are required to get each worker's name and Social Security number and to enter them on the employee's Form W-2. Use the Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS), an online service that allows registered employers and third-party submitters to verify employee names and Social Security numbers (SSN) against Social Security's records for wage reporting purposes. You can use SSNVS without leaving your office or having your employees take time off from work to go to a Social Security office. 也就是说，一定要有SSN才能工作。理论上老美根据他们官方网站是没有SSN=不能雇用你 这叫做照规矩来。虽然我想一定有特例，因为事实上国际学生也可借工作EAD去拿SSN， 但老美会觉得超麻烦。 看板ID:improve 编号:1919 的惨例 我看我暑假非打工不可了~SSN得先拿到手 学校没有台湾同学会，也没有国际学生会，又发现那些新的行政人员不太可靠， 所以我只好上网来交流一下资讯。大家分享一下互通有无。 --
