Some things to know regarding my questions:

I came to the US on a F1 visa and took up on-campus-employment. For that I received a social security number. On the social security card it says "valid for work only with dhs authorization"

Later, I got married and we filed for adjustment of status.

A week ago I received my employment authorization card. We still have to receive an interview appointment.

Questions:

1) Can I start doing freelance work now with my employment authorization card?

2) What do I do about the note on my social security card ("valid for work only with dhs authorization")?

You can work freely. The EAD is the DHS authorization you need to work and your SSN will not change. Its yours for life. You're good to go!

If you want the verbiage removed from the card, wait until you have your GC on hand and request a replacement at your SSO. It won't matter though what the card says - or doesn't say.

Tanti auguri!!

The "work" in the immigration law sense is "to perform labor or services in the United States in return for wages or other remuneration." (Definition quoted from USCIS' Handbook for Employers) Of course freelance counts.
