text: Yes. All persons born here are given one. But your parents were supposed to file with the social security office after your birth, or the hospital supplies the forms, the parents fill it out before the mom and baby leave the hospital and then the hospital files it with the Social Security Administration.\n\nIf you are not born here, but come legally, you are eligible for one and need to file paperwork with S.S.A.\n\nIf you are not here legally, you are not entitled to one.
