However, it should be noted that the US Social Security Bureau recently issued regulations that a person can only change his social security card three times a year at most, and he can only apply for changing his social security card 10 times in his life. Even so, if a person often changes his social security card or often claims that his social security card is lost or stolen, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Types of social security cards:
1. Ordinary card with name and number printed on it: issued to American citizens and permanent residents. Holders of this social security card are not restricted from working in the United States.
2. The name, number and the words "Only authorized by DHS can work effectively" are printed on it: it is issued to foreigners who hold the work permit of the US Department of Homeland Security and can work in the United States for a short time.
3. Printed with the words "name, number, invalid employment": issued to foreigners who have legal status in the United States but cannot work legally, such as international students and those who enter the country with non-work visas.

2, the correct use and protection of social security card (social security number) method:
Because this social security card (social security number) is very important, we should regard it as an important document and put it in the safest place. For example, the original social security card can also be put in the safe, and the copy can be left with you. The best thing is to remember your social security number. Generally, don't tell others your social security card number easily, let alone lend your social security card to others.
Except for employers, government agencies and their own lawyers and accountants, when others want social security cards, they should ask clearly why they want to see social security cards or social security numbers, what they are for, if not, whether they can be provided, and whether there is any legal requirement to provide them.
Such high vigilance will help your social security card or number to be used correctly and protect your reputation, identity and other legitimate rights and interests.
