They're giving you permission to reapply once you get your SSN.

That the new regulation. You cant take then nclex anymore without SSN. When did you apply for nclex?

Check with CA but as far as I am aware you have been sent out a standard letter. If you have no SSN then they no longer are allowing you to resit NCLEX

They are letting you know that once you comply you will be able to reapply. Otherwise, you might mistakenly believe that you will never get a second chance to apply.
