FOREIGN NATIONAL Employees
HR is unable to process a new hire PAR
without a Social Security Number (SSN). A
statement of employment is required for
foreign nationals to take to the Social
Security Administration in support of their
application for an SSN. For your
convenience, a template is on the
International Student & Scholar Services
website at
http://issso.uh.edu/f1/SSN.html.
The SSA will provide a receipt letter to the
employee when they apply for an SSN. If an
employee does not yet have an SSN, please
attach a copy of this receipt letter to the
PAR. This will allow us to assign a
Temporary ID and enter the PAR into
PeopleSoft.
Once the employee receives the SSN, please
have them bring the SSN card to Carolyn
Williams at 347C McElhinney Hall. She will
update the PeopleSoft system.
Also, the foreign national signup package
can be found
here.
Please ensure that the employee completes
these forms and provides a copy of their
passport, visa, I-94 card and I-20 (for an
F-1 student) or DS 2019 (for a J-1 Scholar).
Many countries have tax treaties with the
USA. In order for an employee to receive
treaty benefits, the foreign national tax
forms are required. Without these documents,
the employee will be responsible for paying
federal income taxes. HR will coordinate
this process with the Tax Compliance Office.
