A social security number code by state is a unique nine-digit number assigned to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and certain temporary workers. For instance, a resident of California might have a social security number beginning with the digit “7”.
SSN codes are important for a variety of reasons. They are used to track and manage taxes, benefits, and other government programs. They are also used by employers to verify the identities of their employees and by financial institutions to open accounts and process transactions. The Social Security Act of 1935 authorized the creation of the SSN system.
