I’ve never seen the explanations you claim were posted here. What I do know is the first three digits of a SSN are assigned by state and your SSN tracks to your state of residence where you resided before a certain date and afterwards where you were born when you where first claimed on a tax return as a dependent. I’m sure if the parents moved to a different state than that of the birth and then got a SSN for their kid for tax purposes that might explain a difference. But CT? No way.
Obama having a CT SSN defies logic.
Are you sure it's true?
Not quite. Before 1973, It indicated the location of the office that issued your card that was generally in your home state. After '73, when processing was centralized, it indicated the state where you, or your parents, had the card mailed to. However it was some time after that before it became routine to get a SSN for a baby. You didn't need one for dependents listed your tax return until 1987.
We know that The Won worked in a Baskin-Robbins in Hawaii, so he would have needed a SSN at that time. He graduated from high school in '79, so it would have probably been '78 or a bit earlier when he got his SSN.
So, what was he doing having it mailed to a Connecticut address? Since that was well after '73 (when he would have been 12) when the numbers shifted from being representative of the SS office that issued the card, to being tied to the mailing address on the application.
