A parolee is an alien who is allowed to enter the U.S. under emergency conditions or for purposes of the public interest. For a full definition of parolee, see RM 10211.001B.32.

Certain parolees applying for an original SSN may submit only one document to prove age, identity, and immigration status for an SSN card. For information on the exception to providing two documents when a parolee submits only one, see RM 10210.020.

Not all parolees have employment authorization. A parolee’s employment authorization depends on the evidence of parolee status submitted.
