Immigration Requirements for
Licensure
On August 27, 1996, Governor Pete Wilson
issued Executive Order W-135-96 which
60
requested that the CSU and other state
agencies implement “as expeditiously as
reasonably practicable” the provision of
The Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRAWORA)
of 1996 (P.L.104-193). The Act, also known
as the Welfare Reform Act, included
provisions to eliminate eligibility for federal
and state public benefits for certain
categories of lawful immigrants as well as
benefits for all illegal immigrants.
CSUDH provides all students with generic 9
digit student ID numbers. These ID
numbers are used to identify student
records, registration, and to conduct all
University business. However, students are
still required to provide the University with
their correct social security numbers
(individual taxpayer identification numbers)
pursuant to the authority contained in
Section 41201, Title 5, California Code of
Regulations, and Section 6109 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The University may,
if necessary, use the social security number
to collect debts owed the University. Also,
the Internal Revenue Service requires the
University to file information returns that
include the student’s social security
number and other information such as the
amount paid for qualified tuition, related
expenses, and interest on educational
loans. That information is used to help
determine whether a student, or a person
claiming a student as a dependent, may
take a credit or deduction to reduce federal
income taxes. Students who do not have a
social security number at the time of
enrollment will be required to obtain a
social security number and submit it to the
University within sixty days. Failure to
furnish a correct social security number
may result in the imposition of a penalty by
the Internal Revenue Service.
