Most importantly, you will use yourSSN to open a bank account in the USA, to deposit your pay checks.

    Like your national ID card & passport, it's very important to keep your SSC safe! Social Security Numbers are frequently misused in cases of identity theft. Please report to the local authorities immediately when you lose your SSC!
