You have to have either the green card, I-551 stamp, A nonimmigrant visa the allows for employment without an EAD or an EAD

The application got lost in the mail, or the EAD? Do you have a NOA on the EAD showing it was approved?

If you have your approval letter from USCIS, then you might be able to get your SS card. I would contact the SSA Customer Service at 1-800-772-1213 for more information. They would require a photo id, ie passport, to get your card. However, unless you have that EAD, employment may be hard to get. Most employers now require that card or stamp in your passport before they consider you. Furthermore, if it has been more than 30 days since it was mailed. use the infopass to setup an appointment to get you a temporary EAD until the card arrives. With identity theft on the rise with immigrants who apply for an EAd, you need to be prudent when it is lost or stolen (which is not the case in your situation).
