What are Social Security Numbers?

Social Security numbers were first issued by the federal government in 1936 to track social security programs. However as time went by the Social Security number (SSN) became the most frequently used recordkeeping number in the United States. The Internal Revenue Service decided to use Social Security Numbers for all tax purposes in 1961. In time use SSN's spread to employee records, medical records, health insurance accounts, credit and banking accounts, university and school records, and many other purposes. In the USA a Social security number is required to work and all Citizens, Permanent Residents and most residents on specific temporary visas are required to obtain a SSN before commencing work. A Social Security Number (SSN) consists of nine digits, commonly written as three fields separated by hyphens: XXX-YY-ZZZ. The first three-digits are called the "area number". The middle, two-digits are called the "group number". The final, four-digits are called the "serial number". This process of assigning social security numbers has changed a few times. Only half the group numbers were used until 1965. Generally field offices assigned the numbers before 1972 and since 1972 Social security numbers have generally been assigned by a central office. The order in which numbers were assigned was changed in the 1972 transition.
