Now that I have permanent residence do I need to get a new SSN card or let them know?

Yes you need to get the restriction removed from your SSN card.... just take your Greencard down to your local SSA office and file in another SS5 and they will get a new card issued to you...

There is no benefit I know of that you get by letting them know, other than having the condition removed from your card.

When I entered the U.S. on my Green Card I was issued one of the conditional SSN cards, lol! So I thought it was normal. I went and updated it when I became a citizen, which is something they actually need to know... I believe things are calculated differently for SSI once you are a citizen, but I'm not sure.

Yep always good to get it updated. When I was on a TN, it had a "For employment authorization only" on it. When I got my Green Card, I updated it and that was then removed, and then when I became a citizen I just updated it a third time. So always best to let them know when your status changes...

Now this raises a question for me. I received my Social Security Card before I got married 3 weeks after I moved to the States. It does not have a conditional restriction on it - it is just the regular Social Security card - no notations, no restrictions or anything on it. Since it didn't have the restrictions I didn't notify them when I received my green card. Now, I am wondering, do I need to? My status changed but the card didn't reflect a restricted card so I didn't think I need do anything. Comments?

I wouldn't worry about it, it was their error to not put the notation on there.

And I haven't even gone to have mine updated yet. I'd have to take an entire day off work to go sit in the SSA office, and I'm not about to do that
