Just went to the SS office to get my citizenship status updated.
Will I get new SS card? The lady who updated my info in the system said it would be updated in 24 hours, gave me the standard printout saying I have applied for a new card etc etc but said there would be no new card. Is this correct?
Thanks.

If your original SS card had a restriction printed on it, such as "Valid only with EAD document", or if you changed your name, you will receive a new card within a week. If your original card didn't have any restrictions and/or you didn't change your name, you will not receive a new card.
 
That is correct. I did mine couple of days back and as my SS card has "Valid only......", i am getting a new card, where as my wife does not have such wording on her SS card, she is not getting a new one.

My old card did not have any restrictions of the type "Valid only ..." written on it. However, after updating my status with the Social Security administration after getting U.S. citizenship they still sent me a new card anyway.
