Could be.
The year Obama’s SSN was issued, the SSA was issuing the location number according to the return address supplied with the application, which they say didn’t have to be and wasn’t necessarily the address and ZIP code supplied on the actual application.
Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro was working in Indonesia during the 1977 - 1979 timeframe in which the SSN was issued. In it not inconceivable to me, since Obama was 16 - 18 years old at the time, that SAD could have filled out the SSN application instead of Madelyn Dunham. If her employer had offices in Connecticut, SAD could have used their offices as a return address and then had a boss or coworker forward the documents to Obama on her behalf. Or maybe she used her Jakarta address and in that case how would the location be assigned? I wonder if anyone has looked into those possibilities. Obama was a minor. It’s doubtful he applied by himself. An adult had to supply information and/or signatures.
I found reference to a letter SAD wrote to a colleague at the East- West Center in 1976 where she said she’s having “Barry” come over (to Indonesia) for the summer. Wonder if they filled out the paperwork together on his visit and then mailed it from Indonesia.
