How to obtain a Social Security Card

You can only apply for a social security card if you receive employment.  Initially, you can only work on-campus.  After one academic year, you are eligible for paid internships which would allow you to work off-campus in a job relating to your field.  After graduation, you are eligible for one year of full-time employment if you participate in Optional Practical Training (OPT).
