Notify IRS about your new SSN & rescind ITIN Individuals who are not eligible to receive a Social Security Number (SSN) instead get an Individual Tax Payer Identification Number (ITIN). An alien individual can't have both an ITIN and a SSN. Therefore, once you receive your SSN (e.g., after getting an EAD), you will have to rescind your ITIN. After you receive your new SSN, you will have to send a letter to the IRS ITIN Unit requesting a rescind of your ITIN. The SSN will become the primary number and must be used for all future filing purposes. The IRS will void the ITIN. All prior tax information under the ITIN will be associated with the new SSN. Send a letter to: Internal Revenue Service ITIN Operation P.O. Box 149342 Austin, TX 78714-9342 Enclose the copies of your ITIN and SSN. You will then receive a letter from the IRS confirming that your ITIN was revoked and to use your new SSN for all tax purposes. source: http://www.immihelp....etting-ssn.html ************************************* How to Transfer Your Credit History to a Newly Assigned SSN When you are assigned a new Social Security Number (SSN), your previous credit history will not automatically transfer. Credit history is not kept by the Social Security Administration. Instead, the three major credit bureaus, Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, keep their own records of your credit history. Therefore, to transfer your credit history you will need to notify each of the credit bureaus directly and provide evidence of your claim. 1. Contact your current lenders and inform them of your newly assigned SSN. They should begin to report your credit under your new number. 2. Type a letter to the credit bureau, explaining that you have a new SSN. Keep the letter simple and to the point. List all previous numbers you had credit under and any previous names you used. Request that your account be listed in your new credit report. 3.Print four copies of the letter, one for each of the three credit bureaus and one for your own records. Sign the three copies for the credit bureaus. 4. Address one envelope to each credit bureau, affix a stamp and write your return address. The three credit bureau addresses are as follows: Equifax P.O. Box 740241 Atlanta, GA 30374 Experian P.O. Box 2002 Allen, TX 75013 TransUnion P.O. Box 1000 Chester, PA 19022 5. Make three copies of the document you received from the Social Security Administration informing you of your newly assigned SSN. Attach one to each letter and put each letter in an envelope. Mail the letters to the credit bureaus. 6. Wait a month or two and request a free copy of your credit report through AnnualCreditReport.com from each credit bureau. Verify that your credit history has been transferred by each credit bureau. If it has not, call the credit bureau in question to sort out the problem.

It’s the law. According to law, a man must register with Selective Service within 30 days of his 18th birthday. Selective Service will accept late registrations but not after a man has reached age 26. You may be denied benefits or a job if you have not registered. You can register at any U.S. Post Office and do not need a social security number. When you do obtain a social security number, let Selective Service know. Provide a copy of your new social security number card; being sure to include your complete name, date of birth, Selective Service registration number, and current mailing address; and mail to: Selective Service System P.O.

Hello everyone! I'm so happy we are finally seeing change here in the U.S. I know many of us deserve this opportunity! I was born in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico and lived there until I was three. My mother brought me over to the U.S. illegally to better my life (and my sister). We first lived in Long Beach, California. We stayed there until 1996 and then we moved to Iowa. We moved a few times here in Iowa and have finally settled in a small town where my mom is content. I am now a student at University of Northern Iowa and am studying Sociology with hopes of getting into a graduate program after I complete my major! I owe all my success to my mother. She was the driving force that kept me going. She was a single mom that went in and out of three bad relationships throughout my life. I have seen her suffer so much. My biggest goal is to help her someday. Fortunately because of the DACA and work permit I will hopefully be able to do so sooner than I planned! I have lived through a lot in my 22 years of life. -abusive family settings (stepfather's behalf) -poverty -racial inequality -shattering of dreams I am very involved in my community and am currently working on developing a NAACP chapter for my town. We have been dealing with a lot of racial profiling and hostile police behavior towards the Mexican community. Hopefully I will be able to do more now that I will have my work permit and DL! I am so thankful to God and my mother! If anyone has any questions with their application or process, let me know! I will be glad to help (I have helped a few people file their applications).

I'm so freaking happy!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT APPROVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Yes Ale, I sent you a message with a detailed description of what to do/expect. You can go today to the SS office and apply for one. The SSN is not sent to you automatically, so get going on your process You can probably go back Tuesday and get a print out of your number in case your card takes longer than that. Hope this helps!
