apply for EAD while SSN replacement pending?

[Sherbird 2]

I entered the US through k1 visa and I am planning to apply for AOS and EAD at the same time. I had a SSN when I was on F1 status two years ago, and I applied for a replacement card after entering the US this year. However, the replacement is flagged and pending. I called SSA office and they said they couldn't do anything and the only thing we could do is wait. I have prepared all the docs for AOS and EAD application. Since my SSN should not change, can I file the applications without a physical SSN card? Thank you for your help!!

Of course.   Having an SSN isn't even required
