Do I need to apply for GC renewal if I'm planning to apply for citizenship

[High5]

Hi.
My 10 year GC is expiring in June this year and I'm planning to apply for citizenship within next month. I was wondering if I need to apply for GC renewal and also apply for citizenship? I'm currently working and will the expired GC with pending citizenship application jeopardize my employment.

Thanks.

If my Permanent Resident Card expires while I am applying for naturalization, do I still need to apply for a new card?

If you apply for naturalization 6 months or more before the expiration date on your Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as an Alien Registration Card or “Green Card”), you do not have to apply for a new card. However, you may apply for a renewal card if you wish by using an “Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card” (Form I-90) and paying the appropriate fee. Call the USCIS Forms Line or visit www.uscis.gov

If you apply for naturalization less than 6 months before the expiration date on your Permanent Resident Card, or do not apply for naturalization until your card has already expired, you must renew your card.
