Is the SSN still applicable?

[kirlose]

Hi -

While I was in the USA in 2002 on an H1B visa, I applied for and received a Social Security number. I stayed in the US for 4 months and moved on to India. Is the SSN still valid and can I use it for any specific requirement in the United States?
Thanks in advance.

The SSN is still valid. But for what purpose you can use it is determined by your visa and whether or not you have the EAD card.
