Can I apply if I don't have a Social Security number?

Yes, you can apply if you’re lawfully present even without a Social Security number (SSN) as long as one of the following is true:

• You’ve applied for a SSN
• You don’t qualify for a SSN due to your immigration status
• You do not want to provide your SSN for religious reasons

If your family member doesn't have a social security number, they can still be included in your plan if they have lawful immigration status.

If you or a family member don't provide an SSN on your application, you’ll need to provide appropriate documentation within 90 days.
