Please wait for the sponsor’s email before applying for your Social Security. This application is mandatory if your training program is paid. It remains optional if you have chosen an unpaid position or if you\u2019re paid outside of the U.S.<\/p>\n

The Social Security number has a lifetime validity (you don\u2019t need to reapply if you already have one) and you\u2019ll need it in order to get paid, open a bank account, and pay taxes.\u00a0 The American Social Security does not grant you health benefits in the U.S. It is only an administrative and fiscal identification number (your health insurance is covered by the sponsor).<\/p>\n
