@jonathanc we are in the same boat. My husband is a permanent resident and I just found out from the IRS today that his SSN was the issue. We were both floored. And to make matters worse, I and our kids are ineligible for our portion of the payment because my husband and I file jointly. The IRS guy did say we can get the check next year if we clear up this stupid SSN issue. Did the SS lady say you should be applying for a brand-new social security number? Or are you just making a correction?
