Can I use my social security card anywhere?

Social security cards can't be used everywhere. Generally, it is necessary to apply for a social security card at the workplace, so the social security card cannot be used in different places. As long as it is not a social security card in the same city, a person can have multiple social security cards, but the social security card in place A can only be used in place A, and the social security card in place B can only be used in place B, which is not universal.
