who are you.. and why u need it
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)
I became legal in the united states and had a made up social before then

Absolutely nothing. The code is a "sequential control number" placed at the time the stock card was printed, but before it was assigned to anyone. The distribution pattern can help the Social Security Administration authenticate a card if the card is suspected of being fraudulent. Unfortunately, the number has no value or use to the cardholder.

No, employers are required to check Social Security numbers.
Social Security (FICA) taxes are withheld from your gross (before tax) salary.
It isn't the contribution to Social Security that determines when (or if) you qualify for unemployment. It is your work history, the amount of your wages and reason you left your job, etc. You get Social Security after a required number of quarters worked, your age, Social Security entitlements, etc. regardless of your job situation.
You get a social security number as soon as you become a citizen, but you must file to get a card. There is no waiting time, you can get it as soon as you become a citizen.
Apply for one from the Social Security Administration. You should be aware before doing so that attempting to do this fraudulently is a federal crime. I thought I'd better mention that, because "get it from the Social Security Administration" is so obvious that it's difficult to imagine anyone needing to ask, unless they can't get one legitimately.
No, you must update your name with the Social Security Administration before changing it on your driver's license.
You can retire whenever you want to without collecting social security benefits. The longer you wait before signing up for social security, the higher your benefits will be. You can go to the social security site and calculate what your benefits will be. You can retire whenever you want to without collecting social security benefits.
