Lol. Seriously I just had to verify a code change and I originally was laughing at the only number being excluded was 666.. then I find out the AreaNumber identifies your birth area and I was shocked.

Do if you could just tell me your 3 digits we can move on to step two

Born in 1971, and my first 3 digits do not represent the state in which I was born. Maybe because I was adopted and moved elsewhere before I got a SSN?

The story of my birth and adoption are hosed up so I'm guessing it was a rare case or an error.

yeah its just the first 3 that are for region and tracking... i got a twin sibling and our numbers are pretty different except the first 3 so i figure it was randomized at least a bit all the way back to 1988

i would like to know if anyone has worked with the GG or SSSS areas to chime if there was other info

my sibling was born in 85 and I was born in 87, our SSNs are identical except for the two numbers at the end.

yeah pretty sure parts are random... everyone saying that the first 3 digits don't match their location of birth seem to have received a birth cert in another location... so i guess i should have said wherever you applied for your cert rather than where you were born.

typically when you are born your parents apply for a birth cert right then and there unless something is unusual.

Like the medical facility that your mother went to.

I don't think crunchy mom's used to exist and I don't care how they get their kids birth certs because they probably won't live that long

I went dark

It is based on the state your parents lived in when you were issued a birth certificate, not the state you were born in.

This wasn't true for me.

I was born in Indiana, my birth certificate was issued while we were in Indiana, but I was registered for an SSN while my father was working in New Mexico for a couple months. It was never a proper residence or anything, they just submitted everything while they were in New Mexico, and my SSN reflects that.

I only learned about this in my 20s after a bank accused me of identity theft, and tried to verify my identity by asking where I was born (which did not match the SSN), and then if I had moved as a kid (I had not).

After that whole fiasco, I called up my mother and she explained everything, and that they had done it because they thought it would be fun for me to have a New Mexico SSN.

Thanks mom and dad!

numberoneposter: Feb 19, 2014; How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

they do the same for canada and i just learned this like 3 months ago. we call ours a SIN number :twisted:

and its like this 7xx-4xx-2xx and apparently its some kind of internal math code so if its a wrong number it wont work for the equation

code:

Social Insurance Numbers can be validated through a simple check digit process called the Luhn algorithm.

046 454 286 <--- A fictitious, but valid, SIN.
121 212 121 <--- Multiply every second digit by 2.
The result of the multiplication is:

0 8 6 8 5 8 2 16 6
Then, add all of the digits together (note that 16 is 1+6):

0 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 5 + 8 + 2 + 1+6 + 6 = 50
If the SIN is valid, this number will be evenly divisible by 10.

also it depends on geography too, so

if you are a west coast gently caress your number starts with 7,

if you are as east coast bitch as possible your number starts with 1

if you are temp resident your number starts with 9

Yeah the codes are based on where it was issued not where you were born. I was born in Colorado but my mom moved back home to Texas to be by family after I was born and requested my SS after the move. So mine has a Texas first three not Colorado according to the link.
