Do you get new Social Security Card after naturalization?

Hi Everybody

Today i visited social security office to update my status from LPR to citizen. The guy at the window told me that I'll receive new SS card in the mail with the same SS number. My present SS card doesn't have any restrictions on it. I wanna ask that is this normal that Social Security Administration replaces the SS card after citizenship?

This is normal procedure. They send out a new one even if the number does not change. In our case they told us that we can opt out of getting a new card since it will be the same. So we said that we do not want a new one.

It's not like you have to pay them 400 bucks for a replacement. But they are getting about 14.8% of your paycheck between you and your employer, and that you also have to pay income taxes on also like you are getting an income you can spend to pay your credit card bill. Then they tell you they are broke, but you really can't complain are getting a new card for free.
