    • Update from ECFMG/FAIMER on social security number issuance: Once they arrive in the United States, J-1 physicians must obtain a social security number in order to begin their training. Obtaining a social security number typically requires an in-person interview at a Social Security Administration (SSA) field office, which are temporarily closed due to COVID-19. CFMG|FAIMER reached out to the U.S. Department of State (DOS) with concern about the challenge this situation posed for J-1 physicians. Earlier this week, DOS confirmed that SSA field offices continue to accommodate "dire need" in-person appointments as necessary. DOS expressed confidence that J-1 physicians can use the dire need provision "most successfully." ECFMG|FAIMER advises that J-1 physicians pursue this option and apply for SSA appointments through dire need.
