Yes I can. Is it for work purposes? There are criteria that must be met by noncitizens.
Is work the purpose of your application?
It is not to work but to fill out a form.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
If I do eventually want to work what do I need?
You would need permission to work from the Department of Homeland Security if you are a noncitizen.
But can I get a Social Security number for paperwork purposes? They often ask for one on forms.
Yes but If you are assigned a number for non - work purposes, you can not use it to work.
The benefits form I am filling out requires a Social Security number, so can I get one?
Yes Government benefits or services is one of the cases where you may be issued a number.
Will I need to pay taxes on benefits or register with the IRS?
