My software tells me what state a social card was issued in. Is there a way we can determine if the address the customer is giving us matches social security records such as a web site, etc .

Years ago, i was able to tell what state the social security number was issued from and what age group a person was. can't do it anymore, don't see enough of them.but i don't understand why do you need to verify current address? -
SSA doesn't keep address information unless the person is drawing benefits or has had
other dealings with the agency.
Just think what a big brother it would be if it did.ChEAr$,

The numbers of the Social Security Number, have some codes. Those codes tell you what state the SS # was issued in, and the period of time. My program, will give me this information, it is fun to know where they people came from. It's main reason is to catch fraud, if someone that looks about 20, comes in with a card # that says he should be over 65. OPPS! You have a clue.Comment

Are you sure this is a current program? If so, where did you obtain it??Originally posted by Piglee View Post
For many years, you could make some good guesses ("0" for New England, "9" for Left Coast) where a person was from. Sometimes with a new client it was a nice ice breaker for some small talk.
But it is my understanding that new SS numbers now just roll out of the computer without any relevance to where/when. They may even be "re-using" some very very old numbers also?
Of course, I could be quite wrong!
