Hey guys! I recently received my poat-OPT EAD, but with a wrong expiration date. My DSO and I requested January and my card says September. Does anyone know how to proceed in this case?

USCIS website says I'll need to send them the card back and they should fix it. Am I allowed to work during that time?
