[QUOTE="klein, post: 848170, member: 23950"] The Social Security number is a nine-digit number in the format "AAA-GG-SSSS".[SUP][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0645ad][21][/COLOR][/SIZE][/SUP] The number is divided into three parts. The Area Number, the first three digits, is assigned by the geographical region. Prior to 1973, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the office code in which the card was issued. [B]This did not necessarily have to be in the area where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office.[/B] Since 1973, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from [COLOR=#0645ad]Baltimore[/COLOR], the area number assigned has been based on the [COLOR=#0645ad]ZIP code[/COLOR] in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant's mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. [B]Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, neither prior to 1973, nor since. My add on : And never had anything to do with birthplace, but rather the residency (mailing address) where the number was requested ![/B] [/QUOTE]
