Yes. Most hospitals provide parents with the necessary paperwork or help them file for a Social Security number when a child is born. You must provide the IRS with the child's SSN in order to claim him or her as a dependent on your taxes or, under many circumstances, to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
