Social Security Card Application Guide
General Information About Social Security: The Social Security system was set up in the 1930s to provide financial assistance to the disabled and elderly. Employers and employees are required to pay social security taxes to contribute to this fund. Each United States citizen and permanent resident (Green Card holder) has a unique social security number in order to maintain records of the funds being
established, as well as to allocate benefits to those who are entitled to receive them.
Some temporary visitors, students and workers on non-immigrant visas are also allowed and sometimes required to obtain a Social Security number. The Social Security card is a very important document in the United States. Not only does it entitle the individual to certain benefits once retired, but employers, banks, schools and the USCIS all use the social security card as a form of
identification. Social Security is a complex system that is linked to many other government and private and databases and services.
