New Employment Actions for Individuals Without Social Security Numbers
EPAWeb requires a U.S. Social Security number (SSN) to perform a New Employment action to initiate either paid or unpaid (e.g., zero rate) EPA appointments. In many circumstances, foreign nationals newly arriving in the U.S. do not have a permanent SSN, but need a temporary dummy SSN to enable processing in EPAWeb.
