Supposed to leave tomorrow and no social security card

As long as the receipt from the Social Security office has his name and social security number on it, he should be fine. I'm in the same situation and was told by my company that's all they need.

 

No worries, good luck to both of you.

 

The only thing they "need" the SS card for is the I9.

And even then, you don't HAVE to use the SS card.

check out the back side of the I9 instructions for the other ID's that would be usable.

Drivers license and birth certificate will do. Then be prepared to fax/email the SS card if they ask. He'll be at the terminal a few days.

 

My friend got his new SS card after 5 days from applying. Do as mentioned and fax it across when it arrives. He should still be at the company I presume.

 

I was told by my recruiter that I would need to have a copy for my ss# for orientation, so I applied for one and had the piece of paper saying what my number was by the social security office. Had it with me the entire week during orientation AND NEVER HAD TO SHOW IT TO ANYONE WITH PRIME.

Prime did take a copy of my DL, CDL permit, and Birth Certificate the first day, but not my social security card.

 

imagine that....LOL

 

DL + BC = sufficient for I-9 employment eligibility certification. Most employers simply use your DL + SS card.
