What does this mean on the social security card

[K + M 47]

Above the social security number that was issued for her it says "Valid for work only with DHS authorization"  

 

I am just asking for clarification to make sure this has no effect or void or anything on the actual number, is this just stating that EAD still needs to be brought in next, and once that is done when change name on card to married name this will be taken off when new SSN card is issued?

 

Just asking to make sure the actual SSN itself is all good, just making sure this is a work issue only.

 

Thanks in advance!

That mean that you can only work with a ead.

When you get your green card they romove that from your ss card.

In my case i got ss card before married. Then when i got my ead i went back to ss office to change my name, but stiil say only for work with dhs authorization.

So now that i get my green card i can go again to romove that from my ss card.

But i am no going to ss office again, because i can work with my green card , and that isnt a problem.

It means the number & card is still valid, but it cannot be used for employment purposes without work authorization from DHS. Specifically, that's an EAD in your case.

Once you get a green card, you can go back to the SSA to get a new card w/o that language on it (an "unrestricted" card).

 

One common reason to get the text removed is during ROC, it's sometimes easier to show a driver's license + unrestricted SS card than the valid green card (especially if the I-9 needs to be completed during the period between when you file ROC and before getting the extension letter...or after the extension letter is expired or if it gets lost).

Agree with Geowarian !! Personal experience in renewing my driver’s licence in IL as an LPR .... I assumed that the GC would be the best second ID to use ... but the clerk looked at it ..  said “ oh.. let’s use something else if we can “... the process is so complicated if I have to take that “...so I left the DMV office , turned around , reentered and presented the expiring licence and SS card to the same clerk .. smiles all round.. 5 minutes to process... all good ! 😁
