social security # change after green card ?

Although it probably feels good, it is not necessary to get rid of the condition on the SSN card. At least my GC says "The person identified by this card is authorized to work and reside in the U.S." Showing your GC with SSN card should be valid proof of INS authorization. Am I wrong?

Showing the GC alone is sufficient for I-9 work authorization.

The advantage of having an SS card that doesn't have the condition is that such a card plus a driver's license will satisfy the I-9 requirements, without showing the GC. That could be useful if you ever lose the GC and have to change jobs while waiting for the replacement.

It does not cost anything to change it. Doing it will make you feel better--enhance your sense of belonging.
