Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Getting a Social Security number

I've applied for my alien registration card through marriage and have already received my EAD (Employment Authorization Document), however, I have not got a job yet. Can I get a social security number in order to apply for school or work?

You may apply for a social security # at your local office
