SSN after Green Card

[Callistora 6]

My husband got his EAD this summer and shortly after was auto sent a SSN card (we did not apply for the SSN) that states only valid for employment.  He now just recently got his green card and we are wondering will he get sent a new SSN with no restrictions or do we need to apply for one?  Unfortunately the offices here are not allowing appointments except for new applicants with no SSN so in order to apply we would have to send his passport and green card so he'd be without both for a week.

He'll need to apply with SSA for a card without the DHS wording. It should have the same SSN on the card.

Then he'll need to wait until it's possible to go in-person if he doesn't want to send-in his passport and GC. In the meantime, he can still use his current SS card.

It is possible but only by mail, which is scary having to send not only your green card but passport as well.  The lady I spoke to said they just verify the documents and immediately send them back.
