Does is matter what number your social security starts with?

Question

is it true that if you get a social security number now days (2008)that it will start with 6?

and if you got your social security like back in 1995 it would start with a 1?

Answer 1

None, cos I'm not an American.(true)

but a Caribbean.(?)

Answer 2

Nope, it's  based on where you were born.

Answer 3

Social security numbers are issued with numbers based on the area of the country you live in.  It probably matches the first number of your zip code.  I know my done and from what I've seen California starts with a 9 but I could be wrong.

Answer 4

The first number usually depends on the state you were born in.
