Has this always been the case, or did it only begin some time after the SS system was set up? I originally supposed that some such thing as you describe (the first 3 digits being a kind of area code) ought to be the case, but this notion was belied by the fact that other SSNs that I knew of (my father's, my mother's, my aunt's -- I'll have to ask my sisters) had different first-3-digits from my own SSN. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Donald F.
