<\/p>\r\n
A Social Security Number<\/strong> (SSN) is a 9-digit number that the United States government issues to all American citizens and eligible residents who apply for one.<\/p>\r\n\r\nThe government uses this number to
track earnings and the number of years that each person has worked in their
life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But … What is done with the SSN card?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\nEach time you are hired for a new job,
your employer will ask you for this number, and the accounting department will
use it to inform the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about your income and
inform the Social Security Administration about your salary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
What else can the SSN do for me?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u2022 When you retire, you\u2019ll get your
pension through it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u2022 In case of having to request
disability income.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u2022 Banks may require your SSN to open a
bank account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u2022 When applying for a federal loan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u2022 Unemployment benefits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u2022 To enroll in Medicare or Medicaid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u2022 When applying for your American
passport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The SSN card should never be carried<\/strong>, unless you need it to complete a procedure or your employer asks you to register it. If you lose this card, you have to go to the Administration of the SSN and process a new one, the process is very simple, but you have to be there in person, so sometimes you have to lose hours of work to be able to do it.<\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

<\/center>\r\nWe recommend that all documentation you have where your SSN is written, are well kept in a safe place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
I hope you liked this information and that it was valuable!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
