Decoding the Social Security Number
|
|
(from "Social-Security-Numbers And Other Telling Information:"
|
|
by Simson Garfinkel, published in the Whole Earth Review, Fall 1989)
|
|
|
|
The first three digits of a person's Social Security Number indicate
|
|
the state that the person was living in at the time the number was
|
|
assigned (see table). The exceptions to this rule are numbers in the
|
|
700-729 range, which were issued by the Railroad Retirement agency, the
|
|
only such retirement plan to have its own block of SSNs.
|
|
|
|
The fourth and fifth digits indicate the group number. The sequence is
|
|
reported to be odd numbers from 01-09, then even numbers from 10-98, then
|
|
even numbers 02-08, and finally odd numbers 11-99. All numbers issued
|
|
before 1965 are either odd numbers between 01 and 09, or even numbers
|
|
between 10 and 98. The last four digits are the "serial number," and run
|
|
from 0001 to 9999...
