If a non-resident alien has a social security number, do we still request the W8BEN's?

A W-8 BEN is required to all non-resident aliens regardless if they have a SS#, ITIN# or Foreign number from country of residence. A Permanent Resident does not. They are treated as a citizen and signs a W-9 form.
