Is My SSN an Issue ?

I came to America as an Immigrant back in 1986 (i was 6 years old), and lived in America for 4 years, I had a Social Security Card issued to me (1986). I returned to my native country as my whole family migrated back, and as we had not returned my LPR status got expired, and my dad in the course of time got naturalized and applied a petition for me and I was became an LPR in 2003. I did not contact the Social Security Office for a new Ssocial Security Card as I tend to use my old one thinking ( I am not sure If I did the right thing) I had it already. I had no issues as nothing is fake. Now that I am applying for naturalization, this come to my mind. Is it in any way to affect it ? Am I not safe to continue to use my SSN?
 
Once issued, your SSN is your for life, regardless of whether you chnage status, leave US, renounce GC, or whatever.

Even if it had written on it something like "requires INS authorization" etc, that doesn't matter. Your GC is your authrization.

You may, if you wish, go to SSA office, either now, or after natuarlization, and get a new card without any clause written on it, but this is completely optional.

well the person hasnt mentioned about, any clauses on his SS-card, you said its tied to a person for life what ever it may be, But what i am asking here is was he to go and have it renewed/reinstated or made it active in any way ( may be turn on the on/off switch ....hahahahaa:D)
