The only valid reason to issue a replacement SSN card for a nonwork purpose is when
the alien provides evidence of a new (different), current, valid nonwork need for an SSN.
In these cases, an alien (either US-born or foreign-born) without work authorization
must provide, in addition to the general requirements in RM 10210.015A in this section, evidence establishing:

NOTE: Exceptions to evidence of lawful alien status apply for aliens residing outside the
US per RM 10211.600 and for undocumented aliens per RM 10211.500.
