This tells me I was born in Oregon, thus filling in a blank spot in my personal memories. My mother always told me I was born here, but she might have ulterior motives.

can we keep this thread bumped until someone realizes they were not born where they think they were, creating INTRIGUE

Mine does not correspond with where I was born! INTRIGUE.

Not really though because I was born outside of the USA so I guess they just gave me the SSN for the state where my mother was born.

I got my SSN when I applied for my first job, not at birth.

yeah ss# is just where you or your parents lived when you/they filled out the form to get a card/#. i think. i was born in new york and up there it says connecticut. which is where we moved to. and where i was when i got a ss card. i remember it coming in the mail! when i was a little kid.

Database needs to be updated — kids' ss not in there.

xp - same here. When I was a kid, you didn't need a SSN until you started school. At that time, SSNs weren't required for children in order to take a dependent deduction on a tax return. That rule changed at some point in the 80s, I think, and thus, children get SSNs shortly after birth.

I think they recently started completely randomizing SSNs due to the prevalence of identity theft of people from North Dakota

Mine says Alabama, but I was born in Florida. I mean, I grew up in Alabama, but my (adoptive) parents didn't settle down there until I was at least 3 years old...
