INA264(f): For those who got SSN only after becoming PRs

[AmericanWannabe]

Does it mean you have to inform USCIS about your SSN?

(f) Alien’s social security account number
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney General is authorized to require any alien to provide the alien’s social security account number for purposes of inclusion in any record of the alien maintained by the Attorney General or the Service.

"Attorney General is authorized to require"

I think it means that informing them is not necessary, just they can request it from you when they feel like it.
