Step 2
|
|
|
Answer "Yes" to the following questions on the Form DS-230 or DS-260
|
| |
Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you an SSN (and issue a card) or issue you a new card (if you have an SSN)? You must answer "Yes" to this question and to the "Consent To Disclosure" in order to receive an SSN and/or card.
|
|
|
| |
CONSENT TO
DISCLOSURE;
I authorize disclosure from this form to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the Social Security Administration (SSA), such other U.S. Government agencies as may be required for the purpose of assigning me an SSN and issuing me a Social Security card, and I authorize the SSA to share my SSN with the INS.

The applicant's response does not limit or restrict
the Government's ability to obtain his or her SSN, or other information
on this form, for enforcement or other purposes as authorized by
law.
