The first digit tells if you are being tracked for medical research..... second digit is the tracking division........

Answer 2

That you've voluntarily chosen to participate in Social Security and one day may be entitled to collect a measly allowance for your generous 'giving.'

"railroad benefits, like social security benefits, are not contractual and may be altered or even eliminated at any time" - United States Railroad Retirement Board v. Fritz, 449 U.S. 166, 174, 101 S.Ct. 453, 459 (1980)

Answer 3

there is this thing called social security. when you work you put in a certain amount depending on how many hours and how much money you make per hour. after you work for a long time, once you become 65 you can retire and draw that money. the first 3 digits tell you what state you were residing in when your mom signed your social security card.

Answer 4

It means you have been numbered for life. Our parents made big mistakes by geting SS#. My Niece doesn't have one and hopefully she never will. When the time comes she can get a tax ID #.
