The number of cards is indefinite, because you can lose many over time. But you have only one Social Security number, and it is unique to you, and never changes.

Have the red numbers on back of social security card ever worked?

No, the red numbers on the back of a Social Security card are not used for any official purposes or transactions. The only relevant information on a Social Security card is the Social Security number itself, which is used for identification and to track an individual's earnings for social security benefits. The red numbers are simply a reminder not to use the card as proof of identity.


Does a green card give you a Social Security number?

Not automatically; However, a "green card" (lawful permanent residency for aliens) makes someone elligible for a "right to work" social security number. One must request it at a Social Security office. A green card does not make you eligible for a "right to work" social security number. The "right to work" social security number is given to an alien that has received a "work authorization document". Having a green card will make you eligible for a regular social security number, with no restrictions related to it. In most of the cases when you are applying for a Green card, you might already have a Social Security number (this apply when the Permanent residence is through adjustment of status). This number will be the same when you get your permanent residence, only that if you had restrictions to work it will change to NO restrictions. If you are applying to a Green card though marriage, you will be entitled to apply to your social Security number once you receive the letter of approval from the USCIS

Can someone get a loan with a valid for work only social security card?

yes they can! The purpose for a social security card stating "for work purposes only" is so that the future emplorer knows to also request the letter authorizing them to work from Homeland Security. The loan requirements usually tend to be that the borrower is a U.S. Citizen thus if they can present a permanent resident card, then they should be accepted as a valid apllicant.


What is the number on the back of my social security card for?

There's no need to contact anyone about the sequential control number on the back of your card. The only purpose it serves is to help the Social Security Administration determine whether a card is authentic or fraudulent, based on the combined match between your name, social security number, date and location of printing and distribution, card application. The number is being used to combat identity theft, and serve no other purpose. For more information, see Related Questions, below.
