Not so sure that is correct to tie a social security number to a place of birth. Albeit I was born in Texas. When I was 16 my Father moved us to Michigan where he worked for 3 years before we escaped back to Texas. I have a Michigan issued Social Security number. May be a new law that gives out a number to younger kids now but thats what it was back in 60’s there. Different states may have different process regarding such...just know how mine was obtained back when.
You didn’t get your SSN at birth 50 years ago. The area number was were the card was issued from. The below is from the gov site.
Area Number
The Area Number is assigned by the geographical region. Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. 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.
Generally, numbers were assigned beginning in the northeast and moving westward. So people on the east coast have the lowest numbers and those on the west coast have the highest numbers.
This is not true. The numbers 042 are for someone that had their SSN issued when they lived in Connecticut, it doesn't mean they were born there.
I just looked up my 3-digit SSN prefix number, and it is a match for Florida. I lived in Florida when my card was issued. However, I wasn't born in Florida.
