SSNs are for the most part now assigned as soon as an individual's birth is recorded and certain activities carried out. They're still assigned based on place of birth et al. New citizens are a trickier consideration. It is usually based on where said individual first applied for a Social Security number if said number is one valid for a green card holder. I.E. someone who first got a green card in San Francisco but moved to NYC would get an SSN based on the SF region rather than NYC even though citizenship was applied for in NYC. Older folks who somehow escaped having a Social Security number but now need one for whatever reason like a passport will still get assigned a number based not on where the number is sought but rather place of birth and date of birth. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
