Sec. 422.106  Filing applications with other government agencies.

    (a) Agreements. In carrying out its responsibilities to assign 
social security numbers, SSA enters into agreements with the United 
States Attorney General, other Federal officials, and State and local 
welfare agencies. An example of these agreements is discussed in 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) States. SSA and a State may enter into an agreement that 
authorizes employees of a State or one of its subdivisions to accept 
social security number card applications from some individuals who apply 
for or are receiving welfare benefits under a State-administered Federal 
program. Under such an agreement, a State employee is also authorized to 
certify the application to show that he or she has reviewed the required 
evidence of the applicant's age, identity, and U.S. citizenship. The 
employee is also authorized to obtain evidence to assist SSA in 
determining whether the applicant has previously been assigned a number. 
The employee will then send the application to SSA which will issue a 
social security number card.
