In the United States, a Social Security number (or SSN) is a number issued to citizens, permanent residents, and temporary (working) residents under section 205(c)(2) of the Social Security Act, codified as 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2). The number is issued to an individual by the Social Security Administration, an agency of the federal government. Ostensibly, its primary purpose is tracking working individuals for taxation purposes and to track Social Security benefits. However, in recent years, the SSN has become a de facto national identification number, even though it is not supposed to be used as a form of identification.\nGenerally, numbers were assigned beginning in the northeast and moving westward. So people on the east coast have the lowest numbers and those on the west coast have the highest numbers. As the areas assigned to a locality are exhausted, new areas from the pool are assigned, so some states have noncontiguous groups of numbers.\n\nComplete list of area number groups from the Social Security Administration \nThe middle two digits are the group number. They have no special geographic or data significance but merely serve to break the number into conveniently sized blocks for orderly issuance. \nThere is a theory that the two middle digits can be used to identify a person's ethnic background. African Americans, Asians and people of color will almost always have an odd middle number, while Caucasians will have an even number. This is debunked as an urban legend on snopes.com. \nThe group numbers range from 01 to 99. However, they are not assigned in consecutive order. For administrative reasons, group numbers are issued in the following order:\n\nODD numbers from 01 through 09\n\nEVEN numbers from 10 through 98\n\nEVEN numbers from 02 through 08\n\nODD numbers from 11 through 99\n\nAs an example, group number 98 will be issued before 11.\n\n\n\n\nThe last four digits are serial numbers. They represent a straight numerical sequence of digits from 0001-9999 within the group.

You would have to check with your local Social Security Office for this question.

For most healthcare-related stuff, they use your Social Security number.

In America, you use your SSN a LOT!  I would advise that you do get one.

the three digit number is a security code used to verify your card when you call the credit card company, or when you make purchases from certain online sites.  It proves you actually have the card with you, and your not using some random credit card number.

If an illegal uses a number that belongs to someone else to get a job, the Social Security Administration gets notified of the taxes collected under a name that doesn't match those in its records. It is fairly obvious that there is a person who is showing up at work at the address of the employer who is an illegal immigrant working in violation of the law. But since the people in our government are collaborators in illegal immigration they have deliberately chosen not to act on this information. \n\nGetting a false Social Security Card as part of false id's is easy and cheap all through the United States. But you don't even need a card. You just make a number up. The government cares so little about enforcing the law that I've heard there are something like a million people working under numbers that are all zeros. If you do get caught selling false identification including Social Security Numbers, you can be prosecuted.

Do you mean fist and last name and no middle name? That's OK, but if you mean two cards with each a different name and the same number, call your social security office and try to work it out on the phone.

Social Security is a Federal program.  Contact the local district office for Social Security and they can help you figure out what you will be able to get.  Check the "Government Pages" section at the beginning of the phone book for their contact info.

absolutely call the credit bureaus and tell them the situation.  Now it could have been a clerical error, i.e. someone applied for a credit card and a person at the credit bureau inputted the wrong number by accident.  But it it's multiple names there is a good possibility that you number is being passed around to illegal aliens.  The government doesn't inform an employer if they send in a w-2 with stolen number.  They just take the money paid into SS and put it in a "slush" fund, you will never see it (stinks huh).  I work for a company and see this all day.  We tell our clients to inform the person so they  can take care of it and not ruin their credit.  We actually had one guy who had 15 names associated with his number

The first 3 numbers determine what state you were born in. I don't think the others have a significant meaning.

No it is not.  I have both. The 9 digits in the upper right hand corner of the photo page are not the same as my SSN.
