Do I use my ITIN or Valid For Work Only With DHS Authorization number?

I received the ITIN first then the Social Security Card with Valid for Work only with DHS Authorization.  My W2 has the valid for work only social on it.

Do I use my ITIN or Valid For Work Only With DHS Authorization number?

You should no longer file with your ITIN number once you are issued a Social Security number, as the IRS says here. (Note that this is the case regardless of the work-related circumstances surrounding the Social Security number.) It appears your employer is on top of this, using the new and correct number on the W-2.
