YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER: THE HIDDEN MEANING The seven-digit social security number (SSN) one needs as an employee has been around since 1935 since it was an identification number needed when becoming employed. As of 1988, all tax dependents age 2 need a SSN (Family Support Act of 1988, PL 100-485, Section 704). As of 1990, (Social Security for Newborns, January 1998, SSA 1.2:N42/998) parents can request a SSN for a newborn baby (20 CFR 422.103(a)). The SSN has seven digits: XXX (is the Area number)- XX (is the Group number) - XXXX (is the Serial number). The Area numbers are assigned to each State, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, the Railroad Retirement Board, and "Outside the United States". The Group number series were assigned (in blocks) to each of the States, and the Serial number represents a numerical series from 0001 to 9999. Your SSN is linked to your State of residence when you obtained your number. "Meaning of the Social Security Number" as found in the Social Security Bulletin v. 45, no. 11, November 1982, pages 29-30 (HE 3.3:45/11) provides interesting facts but the text needs updating. This is one of the better number systems designed by Uncle Sam. This 9-digit system has a capacity of nearly one billion numbers, as of November 1982; about 277 million numbers have been issued, leaving bout 75 percent still available. Note: SSN's beginning 800 - 999 were never issued are invaild SSN's.
