Originally published at: Green Card i485 EAD Helps Get Child Tax Credit (and Job Porting without PERM) - AM22Tech
Once you file an i485 application, you become eligible for multiple benefits that are not available otherwise. Filing the adjustment of status gives your non-immigrant kids an EAD and AP irrespective of whether the priority date (PD) date is current in the visa bulletin’s ‘Final Action’ or ‘Date of filing’ chart.

My child received her EAD 2 weeks back. She is yet to get her SSN . Is there a way to track ?
Also if 765 is approved will she be eligible for upcoming stimulus??
There is no way to track the SSN application as far as I know. It usually takes about 4-6 weeks to get SSN.
You can also visit the local SSN office and ask for checking the status of the application and they may or may not honor the request.
She should be eligible for the stimulus package once she gets the SSN and you have filed the tax return using her SSN.
If you have already filed the tax return using her ITIN, then you may be able to claim the stimulus in next year’s tax return using her SSN.
