Not required, but people that have established U.S. citizenship on their SSN
record will have a CSP code of "A". Right now her CSP code is "B", which
means alien allowed to work. Just may save her some headaches down the road.

RM 00203.300 Who Must Submit Evidence of U.S. Citizenship for an SSN Card
Replacement SSN Card
2. If the prior Numident record shows either a U.S. place of birth or a
foreign place of birth with a CSP code of A, and the applicant for a
replacement card alleges he/she is a U.S. citizen, he/she does not need to
submit evidence of U.S. citizenship. However, if the applicant alleges he/she
is a U.S. citizen and the last Numident record does not show either a U.S.
place of birth or CSP of A (when the applicant is foreign-born), then the
applicant must submit evidence of U.S. citizenship. When a foreign-born
applicant previously submitted proof of U.S. citizenship (that is, when the
last Numident shows a CSP of A), annotate the "Evidence Submitted" field
"Numident has CSP=A" to indicate the prior Numident record was used as
evidence of U.S. citizenship. You must code the EVC filed "Y."

RM 00206.200 Student Referred to SSA by School
A. INTRODUCTION
For the Department of Education (ED) matching operation the SSA system
validates the SSN, name, and date of birth provided to ED by Title IV student
assistance applicants and indicates when the Numident shows the number holder
is a U.S. citizen. A school may refer a student to an SSA FO to resolve the
discrepancy when the matching program does not verify the SSN or name. A
student may also contact an SSA office when the Numident information does not
show he/she is a U.S. citizen.
b. Student Requests SSA Change Citizenship Information
If a student contacts an SSA office alleging he/she is a U.S. citizen and
citizenship was not verified by the ED match, review the Numident. If the
latest Numident record does not show a CSP of “A�, ask for documentation
establishing U.S. citizenship.
