To add to this, as I understand it if you have a SS card with the words “not valid for employment” then the IRS doesn’t consider it valid for the stimulus, even if you’ve been filing W2s for years. You have to apply for a new card so the SS database gets updated with the fact that you have a valid SSN.

At least that’s what I’m hoping, so my wife and I can finally collect that $2400 on our next tax return.
