ï· SSA will no longer issue SSNs based on geography. ï· SSA will issue SSNs with the number â8â in position 1. ï· SSA will include all possible SSNs with the number â7â in position 1. Currently, SSNs that start with â7â are for certain states and other specific groups. SSA will not issue SSNs with the number â0000â in positions 6 â 9. Need More Information: In September 2010, we conducted several conference calls to provide more information and answer questions regarding this new process.
