Since the day I got my license I have had a random number.. for these reasons.. my dad works for the state and told me to do this before I had even really heard about identity theft problems.. then I went to school and we had the same thing with your ssn as your id number.. this year VA made it a law or something not to have ID numbers as SSN for schools..

For a good time, for a good time call! :p

867-53-09**

*say it out loud*

ETA: Sorry KRose... I didn't mean to steal your joke... but I just posted without reading...

State of Iowa starts with

479

So mine is 479-13-4725

Should I lie? ;)

Damn everyone and their 867-5309 joke. You all got that song stuck in my head. It's disrupting my procrastination, err studying.:p

For us canadians, maybe we should start our own Social Insurance Number thread.

LOL! I have to agree with Russ. Too much info given out around here.

I work with SSNs all day. A guy walks in with a 1 at the begining. I thought he was trying to pull a fast one!:o

Does anyone-everyone shred their documents?

Where do you live? I was born in NY and mine starts with a 1. Most of the people in my immediate fam from there start with 1 as well.

The first three digits of your SSN depend on where you were living when you or your parents applied for your SSN. New York goes from 050-134 (thank you BetaRose!)

I got my number in Kansas, but all the ones I've seen started with a 4. He is from NY and recently moved to La.

I am now enlightened!

This is a pretty good explanation of how SSNs are actually assigned.
