Hi Friends,
Just had a quick question. Since I am a green-card holder now can I get a new social security card? or do I have to wait till I am a USC? Why do I need a new social card? Well the one I have right now says “ VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION” Now of course I know that the new card will have the same numbers but at least it won’t have that stuff written on it now would it? As always thanks so much for your info and suggestions/opinion friends.

Yes. If you show up to the SSA office with your GC, they will issue a new SS card without the employment restriction.
