Registering for the "draft", and SSN
Hello Everyone!
Joe in now in possession of his 2 year Green Card, so all that is done for now.
My newest questions:
He just got a registration acknowledgement card from the Selective Service
System. Does the INS register you? I assumed that since he's not a citizen, he
didn't have to register.
It's not a big deal, I was just curious.
And anyone else having a problem with their SSN? His still says he's dead or
something.
Thanks!
Megan

Re: Registering for the "draft", and SSN
Any male between the age of 18 and 26 resident in the US (citizen or
otherwise, *illegal* or legal) has to register for selective service. INS
forwards the information automatically now - see the I-485 form.

I didn't notice that on I-485.
I was just curious, anyway.

In some cases I saw where they did this. He should verify this with SSS,
www.sss.gov
As a PR, he has to register.
Even illegal aliens have to register

SSNs are never reissued. So, if he has the number from a dead person,
there is a
problem. Visit your nearest SSA office.

But he is registered, so it isn't a big deal.
I was just curious if the INS registered for him. Geez.

You didn't say you knew he was registered.
Since I have doubts about INS's ability, he should double check with SSS
to make sure
they know he is registered.

I know someone mentioned that they don't re-use SSNs, but why 23 years later,
is my husband's lower, but pretty close to mine?
That's just weird.

As for the SS registration, please note that it is mandatory that a male between the ages of 18 and 26 is registered if they wish to ever apply for US naturalization. So if your husband at some point in the future wants to apply for citizenship, at least that obligation has been taken care of.

Who's telling him he's dead or how is he determining his SSN has him listed as
dead? If it's a credit card company or some other business, they probably have
screwed up records, since SSA doesn't verify SSNs for businesses and tell them you
are dead.
I suggest he call 1-800-772-1213 to review his SSN record. If everything is OK, he
can either request an SSN verification printout from his local SSA office or submit
a SSA-3288 to send info from his SSN record be sent to whoever says he's dead.

Hi All!
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Area Group Serial
Example: 1 2 3 - 4 5 - 6 7 8 9
Area:
The Social Security number consists of nine (9) digits.
Since 1973, social security numbers have been issued by our central office.
The first three (3) digits of
a person's social security number are determined by the ZIP Code of the
mailing address shown on
the application for a social security number. Prior to 1973, social security
numbers were assigned by
our field offices. The number merely established that his/her card was
issued by one of our offices in
that State.
http://www.ssa.gov/foia/stateweb.-
html
Group:
The group number (middle two (2) digits) range from 01 to 99 but are not
assigned in consecutive order. For administrative reasons, group numbers
issued first consist of the ODD numbers from 01 through 09 and then EVEN
numbers from 10 through 98, within each area number allocated to a State.
After all numbers in group 98 of a particular area have been issued, the
EVEN Groups 02 through 08 are used, followed by ODD Groups 11 through 99.
http://www.ssa.gov/foia/highgroup-
.htm
This chart below shows how Group numbers are assigned:
ODD - 01, 03, 05, 07, 09 EVEN - 10 to 98 EVEN - 02, 04, 06, 08 ODD - 11 to
99
Serial:
The serial numbers (last four (4) digits) run consecutively from 0001
through 9999.
Take care,
Mike

According to:
http://www.cpsr.o-
rg/cpsr/privacy/ssn/ssn.faq.html#Structure
The first 3 represent where the number was assigned.
Here is an old table
http://www.cpsr.org/c-
psr/privacy/ssn/ssn.structure.html
Here is the table effective 1973
http://www.ssa.gov/foia/stateweb.-
html
The remaining info is also from:
http://www.cpsr.org/c-
psr/privacy/ssn/ssn.structure.html
The second group (2 digits) is the group number
The final 4 is the serial number.. These are chronolgically assigned for
each area and group combination
So, the first 5 digits are not related order of issue
The last 4 digits are related to the order of issue within the
area-group combination.

Re: SSN
I was confused and previously indicated the middle group were not
related to chronology.
They are, but not as clearly related as the last 4.
The first 3 are area
The second 2 are group numbers that relate to the chronological order of
numbers listed
in an area. Before 1965, only odd numbers below 10 and even numbers
above 9 were used
So, in order of chronology.
1.Odd numbers, 01 to 09
2.Even numbers, 10 to 98
3.Even numbers, 02 to 08
4.Odd numbers, 11 to 99
The last 4 are chronologically issued within the area-group.
