Question
Do you Guys receive the work permit with the social security number together at the same time or No? Or do I need to apply for Social Security after receiving The Work permit?

sometimes they will send you within a week or 2 after the EAD, sometimes they won't... if I was you I would booked an appointment at the SSA Office asap and when they will ask you if you ever received 1, you will say "NO". You will have your card in no less time.

when I received my EAD based on DACA back in 2014, I went to the local social security office(I live in Cincinnati,Ohio) with my EAD and applied for one and recieved it in the mail about a week later. never was aware USCIS issues SSN and sent them to the applicant.
