EAD about to expire, necessary to renew?

[TrinPrince]

Hello,

I had applied for a EAD when I applied for my greencard, I got both the greencard & the EAD. I haven't worked since recieving both documents.

I've enrolled in a university and will be starting soon, I also want to utlize the "work/study" programs that my university offers.

Do I really need a EAD?
Doesn't possesion of a greencard, ss#, driverlicense etc. allow me to work?

Don't want to renew a EAD if not necessary & waste money when I could better apply those funds for textbooks etc...


Any input is appreciated.
Trin

You are now a permanent resident and DO NOT need EAD. U are now allowed to live and work in the US

EAD is interim, until you get your green card. GC is the real deal.
