2-002.02B SSN Application for a Newborn
If Enumeration at Birth was not done as verified by a Vital Statistics Alert, the worker refers the parent or payee to the Social Security office via a Referral for Social Security Number Application by the first day of the second month following the mother's discharge from the hospital after the birth. If the child is not born in a hospital, a Referral for Social Security Number Application must be completed by the first day of the second month following the birth regardless of where the child is born.
