SSN je devetocifreni broj koji se izdaje državljanima SAD, licima sa stalnim boravkom u SAD i privremenim radnicima u SAD. SSN se izdaje preko Social Security Administration. Primarna namena SSN je praćenje poreskih prihoda. Vremenom je postao i lični identifikacioni broj (National Identification Number). Studenti, učesnici Work & Travel programa moraju da se prijave za dobijanje SSN po dolasku u SAD.
Za dobijanje SSN apliciraćete u lokalnoj kancelariji socijalnog osiguranja. Prilikom apliciranja morate predati sledeća originalna dokumenta:
• Pasoš sa J-1 vizom
• Formular radne ponude sa podacima poslodavca
• DS-2019 formular
• I-94 formular (dobijate instrukcije od nas; sajt na kom popunjavate informacije o ulasku i izlasku iz SAD. Kad popunite datum ulaska, odštampate tu popunjenu formu).
Zapamtiite da je neophodno da se javite agenciji u SAD u roku od 48 sati nakon dolaska u zemlju. Dok Vas agencija ne registruje, nemate važeći status i Vaša aplikacija za dobijanje SSN ne može biti procesuirana. Zakasnela registracija kod Sponzorske agencije iz SAD može dovesti do odlaganja dobijanja SSN.
What is a Social Security Number – SSN?
SSN is a nine-digit number issued to U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, and U.S. temporary workers. The SSN is issued through the Social Security Administration. The primary purpose of SSN is to monitor tax revenues. Over time, it also became a National Identification Number. Students participating in the Work & Travel program must apply for SSN upon arrival in the United States.
You will apply for a SSN at your local social security office. When applying, you must submit the following original documents:
• Passport with J-1 visa
• Work offer form with employer data
• DS-2019 form
• I-94 form (you receive instructions from us; the site where you fill in the information on entering and leaving the USA. When you fill in the date of entry, you print that completed form).
Remember that it is necessary to contact the agency in the USA within 48 hours after arriving in the country. Until the agency registers you, you do not have a valid status and your application for SSN cannot be processed. Delayed registration with the U.S. Sponsorship Agency may delay obtaining an SSN.
