K1's can still work for the first 90 days according to email I just received from SSA
Except the SSA is not the agency that has the authority to make that determination. That authority resides with the USCIS.
If you read my entire post, (whist I realize it was biblical in size) you would have noted the SSA cites the USCIS.

There is a lot of info here but I included it all, as I like the way it sets out the info for the noobs (like myself) out there.
Thank you for contacting the Social Security Administration regarding your assigned Social Security number (SSN).The Social Security Administration does not delete, destroy, rescind, inactivate or cancel Social Security numbers once they are assigned. If you have been assigned an SSN it will remain your number throughout your lifetime.
An individual that entered the United States with K-1 status applying for a work authorized replacement SSN card must present evidence at one of our offices to establish his or her identity and current lawful employment authorized status.
We will not assign an SSN or issue a card to an individual that is within 14 days of his or her alien status expiring. Until the 76th day after entry an individual with K-1 status only needs to provide an unexpired I-94 showing current K-1 status to establish employment authorized status for SSN purposes.
Once, an individual that entered the United States with K-1 status has been in the United States 76 days he or she will need another document, i.e. I-551 or I-766 to establish employment authorized status for SSN purposes.

RM 00203.410 Evidence of Alien Status for an SSN Card for an Alien Lawfully Admitted for Permanent Residence:
https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203410
Note: Marriage does not affect an individual with K-1 status's eligibility to be assigned an SSN and/or issued a card.
We suggest that individuals apply for a corrected SSN card to update the SSN record when there has been a name change due to marriage.
Only the marriage document is needed to establish the name change if it meets the following criteria:
-- The new name can be derived from the marriage document, i.e. bride takes the groom’s last name, groom takes bride’s last name, compound name (with or without hyphen) of each spouse’s original name for either or both parties.
Note: The type of name change requested must also be allowable under state law, i.e. groom taking bride’s last name.
-- The marriage occurred within the past two years
-- The marriage document shows sufficient identifying information
(e.g., biographical data such as age, date of birth or parent's names), and
-- The identifying information matches the information on his/her Social Security number (Numident) record.
The applicant may need to submit an identity document in the old name along with the marriage document if:
-- The marriage occurred within the last two years and has biographical information, e.g., age, date of birth or parent's names which does not match our records, e.g., the SSN record.
-- The marriage occurred within the last two years, but does not show biographical information, or
-- The marriage occurred over two years ago (with or without biographical information.
The identity document used to establish the old name must match the name on the current SSN record. The identity document is acceptable even if over two years old or expired.
In name change situations when evidence of identity in the old name is required and the applicant does not have any acceptable evidence of identity in the old name with him or her at the time the SSN application is filed, we can request the following documentation to process the name change:
1. Name change document (e.g., marriage document) showing the old name that agrees with the name on the latest Numident record (Numident) (e.g., maiden name), and
2. Acceptable evidence of identity in the new name (name to be shown on the SSN card), excluding marriage document if it was submitted as the name change document and
3. Verification of identifying information (SSN, name(s) on latest Numident record, date of birth, place of birth, parents’ names) from the latest Numident record.
If these three documentation requirements are not met, the name change request cannot be processed under this new policy. Evidence of identity in the old name would need to be submitted per EM-06064.
Note: Refer the Social Security office personnel to EM-06064, which was issued 10/02/2006 and EM-07045, which was issued 07/03/2007 for the current procedures regarding name changes based on marriage.
https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/public/refere...cttocategory=EM
This is in addition to proof of current lawful employment authorized status.
RM 00203.210 C. Procedure - Immigration Document as Evidence of Legal Name:
When an alien applies for an SSN card, we presume the name on the immigration document is the legal name unless the applicant presents evidence of a legal name change, e.g., marriage, which occurred after the immigration document was issued.
In cases where an alien applies for a replacement SSN card and submits an immigration document showing a name that is different from the name on the prior Numident record, accept the immigration document as evidence of the legal name. In these cases, the prior SSN card may have been issued in a name that was not the number holder’s legal name.
RM 00203.210 Changing Numident Name Data:
http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203210
When requesting an SSN card, the documents presented, as evidence must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept uncertified or notarized photocopies as evidence.
The documents acceptable as evidence of identity are now based on three factors: (1) the applicant’s age, (2) the applicant’s citizenship/alien status, and (3) the relative probative value of documents.
Primary Identity Evidence for an alien:
-- Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card (includes temporary I-551 Stamp in combination with an unexpired foreign passport when the I-551 Permanent Resident Card has not yet been issued)
-- Form I-94, Arrival/departure Record in combination with an unexpired foreign passport
-- Form I-766, Employment Authorization card
Note: Document must be unexpired
Secondary Identity Evidence for an alien:
-- Unexpired valid U.S. driver’s license (excludes licenses known to be suspended or revoked)
-- U.S. State issued non-driver identity card (issued by the same State agency which issues driver’s licenses/State-level agency with issuing authority over the State’s identity card and not expired)
-- Marriage document showing in addition to the applicant’s name either the applicant’s date of birth ( DOB) or age
-- Certified copy of medical record (clinic, doctor, or hospital) or letter providing extract data from the medical record showing in addition to the applicant’s name, the applicant’s DOB or age
-- Health insurance or Medicaid card showing, in addition to the person’s name, either a photograph of the person or his/her DOB
-- School identity card or record (for current school year) showing, in addition to the applicant’s name, either a photograph of the applicant or the applicant’s DOB
-- Life insurance policy for the person showing his/her age or DOB.
However, the acceptability of an identity document must be evaluated on a case by case basis by the office processing the application.
You can find detailed information regarding evidence that establishes identity on our Website at:
http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203200
We cannot accept an application filing receipt or notice of action as evidence of an immigration document.
Take the required documents to the nearest Social Security office. Individuals age 12 or older applying for an original SSN and card must apply in person at one of our offices.
You can obtain the address and directions to the nearest Social Security office from the Social Security Office Locator, which is available on the Internet at:
Note: Applicants who live or receive mail in the Brooklyn, NY, Queens, NY, Phoenix, AZ, Orlando, FL, Sacramento, CA or Las Vegas, NV area MUST apply in person at one of the Social Security Card Centers, regardless of age.
Card Center Information: http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/ssa.cf...hp?p_faqid=1412
Sacramento Card Center
8581 Folsom Blvd. Suite B
Sacramento, CA 95826
Hours: Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Normally, an SSN card should be received in the mail within two weeks after the application and document(s) have been received and verified.
However, when an alien requests an SSN or replacement card, we must verify his or her documents/current status with the appropriate Bureau of the Department of Homeland Security. If the initial online verification is not possible through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system, we may need to send a Form G-845 to the appropriate Bureau of the Department of Homeland Security for manual verification.
Since 01/06/2007 Social Security field offices can submit an additional electronic online verification, which in the majority of applications eliminates the need to send a Form G-845 along with copies of the applicant’s immigration documents.
However, some applications still require a copy of the immigration document(s) being verified to be sent at the request of the Department of Homeland Security along with the Form G-845 for manual verification.
Note: If the applicant has changed his/her name after an immigration document, i.e. I-94, was issued, e.g., married and is now using the married name, but has not obtained a corrected immigration document showing the new name; this is not a name discrepancy for enumeration purposes, i.e. SAVE clearance, if the applicant can provide an acceptable legal name change document to establish the new name.
The 14 day status expiration limit for assigning an SSN and/or issuing a card applies even if an individual submitted his or her application before being within the 14 day period and entered the 14 day period while waiting for his or her status to be verified.
Our offices can also assist applicants by issuing a notice acknowledging the SSN application while documents are being verified.

You can find SSN and employment information on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Website at:
http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/intern...=129227,00.html
If ineligible to be issued a replacement card, Social Security offices can provide written notice using Form SSA-L676 to explain that an SSN cannot be assigned due to your not having provided authorization to work in the United States for SSN purposes or evidence of a valid nonwork reason for needing an SSN.
The following are valid nonwork reasons:
-- Receive Social Security benefits
-- Receive Medicaid
-- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
-- Food Stamps
-- State/Local General Assistance Benefits
Needing an SSN for school aid or enrollment, tax purposes, private health insurance, banking, credit cards, loans or to be issued a state professional or driver’s license are NOT valid non work reasons for needing an SSN.
However, you can request an SSN Verification Printout, which will provide you with proof of your SSN and the name that currently appears on the record until you are eligible to be issued an SSN card.
