Can anyone point my to a website where you can enter a S.S No. and it will tell you details of who the person is/was? Even the most basic of details such as what State the S.S No. corresponds to?

Here’s a rough guide to determining the state, Chappie. Since the Social Security # is given at birth, however, it would represent where a person was born, not necessarily where they live. Not sure how to tie the SS# to a particular person but I’m sure it can be done.

Back in the day social security numbers were issued when you got a job for tax purposes not at birth like they are now. I got my social security card when I was 15 years old. Apparently the reason the numbers are now issued at birth is because people took advantage of the system and claimed children on their taxes that did not exist so they could get greater deductions. Go figure, it took the social security administration a few decades to figure that one out! I recall that when my son was born in 1975 we had to get him a social security number by the time he was 2 years old to continue to claim him on our taxes.
Because the numbers back then were not issued until you started working, the beginning three numbers would not necessarily denote where you were born but where you first started working.
Thanks for the clarification, Seagull. I did not know that.
I found a website that tells you what State each No. is issued out of, and one was issued out of New York, the other Missouri. Thank you both for the comments and advice. Over here in the UK it’s not that much different, we get issued a National Insurance No. at 16 for the purpose of paying Tax to those nice people down at The Government.
Deb, that’s interesting, over here National Insurance (Or N.I Number for short) are still only issued to a UK Citizen once that person is 16 years of age. They couldn’t issue them prior to this I wouldn’t think because having an N.I No. means you can legally work full time in the UK as an adult. I can’t see how, whether it be A SS No or N.I No, you can issue one to a child because, and I realise it may be different over there to here, it would mean that a 11 year old could apply for a full time job as A Cab driver for example :-/ No employer could legally employ anyone under 16 anyway because they are not insured to cover a minor should they have an accident or sustain an injury. Anyway, I’m going off topic now so to go back to SS No’s here’s what I would like to get the answers to above all else…
A) In the State’s, is it legal for a person to have more than one SS No?
B) If yes, what would be a typical example of when someone may need more than one?
The only circumstance I could think of where a person may need, and be officially issued a new SS. No. by the Government, is for people who enter the witness protection programme and obviously have a whole new Identity.

WC I do not know anything about the income taxes in the UK but here in the US you get a deduction off your gross income for each dependent. In order to get that deduction the dependent needs to have a social security number. The social security did not start out that way but because of abuse of the system it has ended up that way.
No it is not legal for someone to have more than one social security number. Your example is the only one I can think of, too, where there would be an exception.

Ok, it helps to know that is isn’t legal to have more than one SS No. because at least I now know Kane having at least two was illegal. His N.Y SS No. is the one he was given and is his original one it seems, but where this second one comes from that was issued by the State of Missouri I have no idea. It starts X500 which correlates with MO apparently.
