As a Lawful Permanent Resident you are eligible to apply for an SSN.
I have been here 2 1/2 years after escaping Canada and my Naturalization application is in the works.
Our son joined us in December and just got an accounting position and now finds himself out of work.
Some of us came here to pay taxes and enjoy the privilege of living in this great nation.
Yes, my US Citizen wife of 26 years and I will get checks, but our son who needs it most may in fact not receive any help (apart from us).
Please, when making posts along these lines keep in mind that many LPR's want to be here and contribute, not mooch.
I only hope that my naturalization happens before November. It will be one of the finest days in my life when I can cast my ballot for Donald J. Trump for President.
Do Green Card holders get a Social Security number as well?
