If you applied for your SSN at the Graduate Student Employee
Processing (GSEP) event in August, 2016 you may be wondering why you haven’t
gotten your number yet. Global HR has confirmed with the Social Security
Administration that they are still in the process of approving those
applications. SSA has indicated that they have completed nearly half of
the applications, but are still working on the rest. If you have not yet
received your SSN, don’t panic! We expect to see the rest of the numbers
approved in the very near future.
