Because of the typo, the system had him as living in CT, so it assigned him a SSN that starts with 042. Once the number is assigned, it can't be changed, even after the zip code error was corrected, so that's his number to this day. This would not be the first or last time some government bureaucrat mistyped a number.
As to the timing, 1977 makes perfect sense. He stated publicly that he got his first job at age 16, which means that's probably when he applied for his first social security card. And how old was he in 1977? You guessed it, 16.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
Two problems with your theory.
First, if applying for a social security card back then was anything like it is today, you mail your application to the local SS office. If he had been living in Hawaii at the time, he obviously would have mailed it to the Hawaii office, where it would have been processed. The Hawaii office would have issued him a Hawaii number - not one from Connecticut - regardless of what his ZIP code was.
Second, speaking as someone who has a number issued from a state other than the one he was born in, I know that I needed a social security number when I started elementary school - which is when mine was issued. While it’s plausible that Hawaii did not have the same requirement Maryland did, this adds a wrinkle to your “facts.”
What an unlucky fellow to have so many records lost or destroyed and so many typo’s.
Obama is using someone elses SSN. This is not in dispute.
except that doesn’t explain the old man who previously had that number. They don’t recycle them when someone dies. At least, not legally.
Ok, if we assume that this is what actually happened, how did Obama actually GET the SS card? It would have been mailed to an incorrect address in CT!!
(Inquiring minds . . . . . . . )
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.

Are you saying that Hawaiian SS officials would have assigned him the Connecticut prefix?
As the link below shows, replace the leading nine of his Honolulu zip code with a zero, and you'll get Connecticut zip code:

1. And what happens to your theory if there was NOT a typo error as you theorize above? Would that then make Obama a big time fraud and liar?
2. I'm confused about your explanation of the timeline of how a bureaucrat's unknowingly made a typing mistake and assigned the Social Security number to Obama.
3. Could you please explain your theory in more detail about the possible typo error, that is, could you please show us the trail of Obama's application from the time he dropped his application in the mail in Hawaii until Obama received his 042 Social Security card in Hawaii.
4. Computer did it? I'm sorry, but to me, basing your entire Obama theory on a clumsy Social Security typist has a lot of problems, when, for one thing, it is possible that the whole procedure was done by a computer, and a human hand never processed Obama's Social Security application? You have heard of computers, haven't you.
How about this simple solution: News reporters and private citizens simply ask Obama during the 2012 campaign to explain why his Social Security number seems to have been issued to a person living in Connecticut when Obama was living in Hawaii?
I bet Obama's response would be very interesting.
Just wondering: Why are reporters and tv talk show hosts so scared to ask Obama questions about such topics as his Social Security number, his Hawaii long form birth certificate, his Selective Service registration, and how he was able to obtain his first United States passport. Sad. So sad.
5. In another message here, you wrote that the IRS made a typo error in the zip code on a letter it sent you.
6. My reaction to your statement was this: You got the mail at the correct address even though the zip code was in error, didn't you? You make it sound as if the post office only delivers mail by the zip code number.
7. Is it possible that the post office double checked your mailing address because the zip code was in error, and it had the good sense to deliver your mail based on the mailing address instead of sending the letter to a place based solely on the zip code on the letter?
