Those questioning Obama's SSN would have some credibility if they understood basic facts about how SSNs are assigned.

Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant's mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.

Have any of you seen this story purporting to have identified the man whose social security number Obama is allegedly using?

The man’s name is “Jean Paul Ludwig”, and he supposedly died in Hawaii in 1981.

Don’t know if this story is credible, but if it is, it ought to be significant.

” . . . the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card.”

Yes. But in order to get an original social security number, doesn’t one need to supply certain personal information, including a birth certificate? And who in Connecticut would have had the documentation to apply for Obama’s “original” social security number? And isn’t it Orly Taitz’s contention that the number assigned Obama already belonged to another person?

we know how they were issued, now explain what return address he used in Con. and how he got his card that was mailed there?
