Received two SSN’s from the SSA. Anyone else?

Hi all. I came to the USA on a K1 visa. I applied for, and received my SSN within the 90 day period. Flash forward to May, I receive my EAD card in the mail, a week later I am sent a Second SSN.

I called the SSA office, the employee was not helpful, told me that nobody should have two, that I should keep the second one and destroy the first one.

That’s all well and good, except I’ve already filed taxes with my husband, started working and also opened bank accounts, health insurance, applied for Real ID with the original SSN I received. The employee told me “it’s ok they’re both linked to each other on the system (?!), just change to the new one for all those documents, and destroy the first one”

I’ve seen on other forums that the advice given in this scenario varies depending on who in the office you’re speaking to. Some are told to mail back the second SSN. Some are told to pick one to use and destroy the second one.

Has anyone here gone through this? I tried calling my office but the wait times currently are insane.

Thanks!

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
