i knew it'd be in the ball park. SSN's aren't super hard to figure out. And by that i mean a a few of the numbers. The entire thing is much more complicated. For example, I assumed you were born in the bay area which in the mid 80s carried the first 3 digits of 617. I know this because I was born there. the first three numbers operate similarly to a telephone's area code. While the area code does not necessarily correspond to the SSN, it wouldn't be too hard to figure it out. I'd guess your second set of numbers to be in the mid 40s, not 77. I'm not sure what those middle two numbers mean. My theory is either another subdivision from region to say county or a counting system that would then involve the last 4. I'm not sure if the last 4 are a stand alone rollingcounter or a random generated number or if they are really two separate numbers. I'm sure there's a website explaining the importance of each set of numbers maybe I'll look into it.
From what i understand they are similar. The SSN is given to any US citizen. It is a social security number associated obviously with our social security program started by the social security act of 1932. You pretty much need a SSN to work (or a visa etc) here in the states. Part of your pay check is diverte to a social security fund. When you retire you can then access social security to SUPPLEMENT your retirement funds. every election social security is a top issue because of the many problems in our system, which we can get into someothertime if anyone is interested. From what I understand about the Canadian system is that a SIN is the equivalent and allows Canadian citizen access to governmental programs.
