The first 3 digits of your SSN are tied to where you were born. Until A few years ago..? somewhat recently anyway. I just had to update some software to take into account the new valid SSN range when verifying that what was supplied was minimally compliant. The first three digits were opened up from being under 772 to being under 900 and they will be randomly assigned from now on. I had a bit of a laugh though, because the only 3 digit combo under 900 they were blocking was 666. I mean I guess the government has to take that poo poo into account for the crazies but I found it pretty funny so I thought I would share it.

I just noticed the date on the form, and its been a thing since 2011 apparently. I didn't know? https://www.ssa.gov/employer/randomization.html SSN randomization affected the SSN assignment process in the following ways: It eliminated the geographical significance of the first three digits of the SSN, referred to as the area number, by no longer allocating the area numbers for assignment to individuals in specific states. It eliminated the significance of the highest group number and, as a result, the High Group List is frozen in time and can only be used to see the area and group numbers SSA issued prior to the randomization implementation date. Previously unassigned area numbers were introduced for assignment excluding area numbers 000, 666 and 900-999.

it is possible. put a zero to the left of any integer and it's still the same number. and don't give me that garbage about a leading zero indicating octal notation, nobody uses octal notation.

its not possible the digits are well define... here you go: a list of valid numbers and what state you were born in as of 2011 lol https://www.ssa.gov/employer/stateweb.htm kinda hosed up edit: as per the website... this is THIS DATA IS STRICTLY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES If the US gov had to say that I felt like I should probably repeat it.

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 Wendigee fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Oct 21, 2022 |

that's very interesting OP. Could you share your SSN with me via PM, and also your credit card number, expiration date and the 3 digit security number. I will use it to take all your money, maybe buy a new GPU. Wait, did I say take your money, I meant milk your bank account for all you're worth. Hold on, that's not right, I meant I want to nigerian-prince-scam your rear end all the way to poverty. Did I say scam? I meant investment. Have you heard about crypto
