Certification
of On-Campus Employment for F-1 Students Applying for a Social Security
Number
The U.S. Social Security
Administration (SSA) requires all international students in F-1
status to prove that they are currently employed or have been offered
specific employment when applying for a Social Security Number.
The Boston office of the SSA has issued guidelines outlining the
specific information that must be certified by the hiring department
when providing proof of on-campus employment.
The SSA has approved the following
form to be used to certify on-campus employment for Boston University.
The form must be completed by the BU hiring department and printed
on department letterhead. The Certification
of On-Campus Employment for a Social Security Number Application
has been created in Adobe PDF format and contains fillable fields.
The supervisor or hiring department should use Adobe Acrobat or
Adobe Reader to complete all of the fields and print the form on
department letterhead. The supervisor should then sign the form
and give the original to the student. The student must take the
completed and signed form to the ISSO to obtain an endorsement by
an International Student Advisor/Designated School Official.
International Students
in F-1 status who wish to apply for a Social Security Card are encouraged
to read the Social
Security Card Application Procedures for additional information.
If you have any questions regarding this process or form, please
do not hesitate to contact the ISSO.
[These procedures
went into effect on October 13, 2004 based on a rule published in
the Federal Register (Vol. 69, No. 176)]
