OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS (OISS)

SOCIAL SECURITY CARD

IMPORTANT: New international students need to have a social security number before they can be appointed as academic apprentice personnel or receive any fellowship funding. It will take about 2 to 3 weeks to receive your new social security card. Therefore, you must obtain a receipt from the Social Security Office when you apply. This receipt will be proof that you have applied. This receipt will not be automatically given to you, so you must ask for it when you apply. If you do not obtain a receipt your personnel papers will be held up and your paycheck will be delayed.
