Not correct. per Social security website you can get if you have a "need." but Driver License and "like to have" are not enough reasons. You don't need SSN to get Driver License. Also ,if you get a SSN under visa status it will show that you are not eligible to work.

It's only issued if you have a valid reason for it (eg. just because you
want to have ssn, regardless of how much, is not a valid reason)

There have been instances that the employee mistakenly issues ssn to b1/b2
but even in that case, the card shows "no permission to work".

You may be able to change our visa to one that allows you to work and then
get both ssn and permission to work. Talk to an attorney; normally the
consultation is either free or in the range of $50-$100. ... Just like
doctor, get at least two

Some small places may not actually check the ssn card although doing so is
technically illegal
