Ersatz-Sozialversicherungsausweis

Was ist ein Sozialversicherungsausweis?

A Social Security card records the 9-digit Social Security number (SSN) that’s assigned to U.S. citizens and residents. The official document allows the U.S. Government to monitor individuals for social security reasons.

Social Security Cards are also used as a form of identification and for tax purposes. Some situations where you need your Social Security card include:

• Applying for a job
• Opening a bank account
• Accessing benefits
• Filing tax returns

Für wen ist der Ersatz-Sozialversicherungsausweis gedacht?

You’ll need a Social Security card replacement if your original card is lost, stolen, or damaged. You’ll also need a replacement if the personal information on the card needs to be corrected or updated.

You should only request a Social Security card replacement when one of the above situations applies to you.
