Yes, it is "legal" to ask for your social security number. And it is legal because it is NOT against the law to do so. What may or may not be legal, in some cases, is to ask someone to provide a social security number as a requirement to have access, for instance, to a benefit to which that same person is entitled by law.
asking for your social security number
A person can find out their family members social security card number by asking the family member. A social security number should be kept confidential.
is a social security number the same as a national insurance number
Technically it's not. It's necessary to have a social security number before you start a job, which is slightly different.The US requires that all businesses obtain proof that their employees are actually eligible to work in the country, in the form of either a social security card or a "green card" (A US Passport can be used instead of a social security card, but it will still have the social security number on it.)
you have to apply for a job ( on-campus), and if you get accepted, then the school can give you a social security number before start working ;) Confirmed (AG)

You don't buy a social security number. You go to your local social security office and apply to receive your own personal social security number.Buying a social security number is against the law.

You can't. You can only get a valid Social Security number through the Social Security Administration; anything else is fraudulent.
