Will the date on SSN will be same for first card and re issued card?

I put "re-issued card" in the search box on ssa.gov and all it came up with was gender change.  So maybe that is a reason for re-issue. No idea what they do if there has been identity theft, etc.....Not sure if changing name causes re-issue or "replacement."  I think I am sticking to original answer of ask SSA.

xmasbaby0, you were very helpful. If I can, I wanted to recommend both of you and Lisa995 answers but Lisa995 answer is what I'm looking for, someone done that. Thank you

@Summer Sunny I only replied in the "comment" section, so you cannot "recommend" my replies, but thanks for the thought.

Yes, in that even if a child should qualify for the Child Tax Credit, it cannot be claimed if the date of issue of their SSN (printed on the SSN card) is after the due date of the tax return.  Example, my 15-year old son only got his SSN in Nov 2023, therefore when filing 2022 tax returns I cannot claim CTC for him, even though he "should" qualify on all other counts. 

But, it seems that in this case the "Other Dependent Credit" can still be claimed in its place.

Maybe there are other ways the SSN issue date affects taxes, but this was my use case.
