If you already have your Green Card then you do not need an employment authorization.

Your Green Card is your work permit.

Exactly as above. The green card is your work permit essentially.

 

They other document they may be asking for is if you have had to get an EAD (work permit).

 

Since you have your GC you did not have to obtain the EAD card.

They might be talking about E-Verify; this is a sort of registration that verifies that yes indeed you are authorized to work in the U.S.

https://www.uscis.gov/e-verify

The site has a lot of useful info about your rights as an employee in the U.S., too.  

Your green card is indeed an authorization to work, but the company might be an E-Verify employer, and might want you to do that as a double-check on your ability to work.

K1s go through a different process than you did so her case isn't all that relevant to yours.

You don't need a work permit because you have a green card.
