Has anyone had their middle name omitted from their NEW social security card?

If my name is John Anthony Doe

 

The first Social Security card I got after entering on a K1 listed my name as John Anthony Doe

 

Now my i-485 is approved and they sent me a new one and the middle name is gone e.g. John Doe.

 

The number is still the same.

 

Is this likely to cause any problems?

From the SSA site: 

 

"The number holder’s (NH) first and last name on his or her SSN card must agree with the first and last name shown on the document submitted as evidence of identity or legal name. A middle name or suffix is not considered part of the legal name. It does not matter if the middle name or suffix is included, omitted, or incorrectly shown on an SSN card.

For SSN purposes, a NH’s legal name consists of the first (or given name) and last (or family name or surname) that is used to sign legal documents, deeds, or contracts."

That's great thank you.

Middle names are not part of legal name according to SSA.

So yes.

Many.

Just for info 

SS goes by the number when u r retired and go for benefits

my late husband used Terrence as formal name ,  paid into SS under Terry

his birth certificate said Terence (1 R)

no problems when he applied for benefits

I am a child of the 50s.  When I was growing up, we were encouraged to use our first name, middle initial, and last name as our "legal" name.  Then Passports had to be in your FULL name.  When a woman married, her middle name (initial) was her maiden name.  My passport and SScard have my full name.  Driver's license has middle initial.  All my banks accounts have middle initials.  I use my middle initial for Credit Cards, but my latest card from Citibank omitted the middle initial.

 

Go figure.  @JeanneAdil, I laughed at your entry about your late husband.....
