There is no benefit I know of that you get by letting them know, other than having the condition removed from your card.

When I entered the U.S. on my Green Card I was issued one of the conditional SSN cards, lol! So I thought it was normal. I went and updated it when I became a citizen, which is something they actually need to know... I believe things are calculated differently for SSI once you are a citizen, but I'm not sure.

Yep always good to get it updated. When I was on a TN, it had a "For employment authorization only" on it. When I got my Green Card, I updated it and that was then removed, and then when I became a citizen I just updated it a third time. So always best to let them know when your status changes...

Now this raises a question for me. I received my Social Security Card before I got married 3 weeks after I moved to the States. It does not have a conditional restriction on it - it is just the regular Social Security card - no notations, no restrictions or anything on it. Since it didn't have the restrictions I didn't notify them when I received my green card. Now, I am wondering, do I need to? My status changed but the card didn't reflect a restricted card so I didn't think I need do anything. Comments?

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I wouldn't worry about it, it was their error to not put the notation on there.

And I haven't even gone to have mine updated yet. I'd have to take an entire day off work to go sit in the SSA office, and I'm not about to do that :P

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!
