Will the bank account number change when the social security card is replaced?

Whether or not you change your bank account number when you replace your social security card depends largely on the issuer of the card and local policy. Usually, the replacement of a social security card does not automatically change the bank account number that has been bound to it, because the social security card and the bank account number are two separate things from each other. However, there are a few situations to be aware of:

1.**If a Social Security card is replaced**: Generally, simply replacing the card does not change the bank account number to which it is already tied. This type of replacement is usually due to a damaged card, a technical update, or a change in personal information.

2.**If you change your bank account**: If you change the bank account associated with your Social Security card on your own, or if the bank account you were originally tied to closes for some reason, you will need to re-tie a new bank account to your Social Security card.

3.**Policy Change**: Sometimes, due to local social security policy adjustments or changes in banking partnerships, it may be necessary to change the bank account associated with your social security card.

When replacing or updating your social security card, it is recommended that you consult with your local social security center or bank to confirm whether you need to update or change your bank account information. Also, make sure your personal information, such as contact information and address, is up-to-date in order to receive notifications when necessary.
