My wife received her social security card after getting her EAD. She was approved in November for her conditional green card.

Her social security card has the "valid for work only with DHS authorization". Do we need to go in and get a new card without this?

My step daughter's social was issued after we received her conditional green card and her card does not have the statement on it.

If you want to get rid of that stamp on it, you can get a new card. The number will be the same. And the stamped card is valid because you can show work authorization with the EAD. So it's just your preference of how you want your card to look.

YES you have to notify & update Social Security Admin about you legal status here...it's not about "how you want the card to look" they have to update everything in their system also so go get it done ASAP...

After your AOS is approved, the EAD is worthless. The GC is what is valid.
