Have you ever wondered whether the nine digits in your Social Security number have any meaning or whether they’re just totally random? The answer to this and to every other question you could ever dream of asking about Social Security numbers can be found in a report prepared by the Social Security Administration.
I’ll answer that question for you though — the numbers are not completely random. The first three digits are assigned geographically, the next two are a group number used for sorting purposes, and the last four are the random ones.
