Do you find this to be accurate based on your SSN?

[Tx Redneck]

It was 100% inaccurate based on mine.

It's not accurate in the slightest for mine. Was born is 1983.

But did you receive a number right at birth?

i saw this at work but can't watch the vid. can someone give me the jist?

[DieselSmoke]

Not for me. For one, I'm not part of any social networking site. Not a single number is correct in relation to the first 3 of my birth place zip code. The next 2, where and when, not even close either. And the last four are pretty random to me.

According to my mother she applied for it when she applied for my birth certificate.

The video explains that some SS numbers were not random in their generation. As in, the first 3 numbers correlate to where you were born, the 2nd group to a group identifier of some sort, and the third is a serial number that is supposed to be random but it states that a lot are sequential.

Mine is completely wrong, I have an area number for SC, but I was born in Japan.

If it was Okinawa, it probably went through the SS office near Parris Island.

I recieved my SS card in 7th or 8th grade. This was before you would get them at birth like my kids did. The video certainly didnt apply to my card.

I thought it was common knowledge that SS numbers aren't randomly generated.

My [step] brother and I were born in the same hospital three weeks apart (in 1980) and our SSNs are incredibly similar.

I don't think the first three digits are an area code or anything obvious like that, just a different three digit code reflective of your birthplace.

That's why I used area number, not area code. http://tinyurl.com/2wchb2j
