There's no such thing as a "conditional SSN". Once a person has an SSN,
it's theirs for life. Having an SSN has nothing directly to do with
being authorised to work.

He's been illegal since whenever he stopped working for the company
under who's sponsorship he was in the USA. There's nothing "technical"
about it. He's also been working illegally, which is a separate thing.

how does being taxed come into it?

Probably best to leave things be, and give corrections during the
interviews along the way. |
