Very good question. I am finding more and more Job Applications on line, are asking for this. I have checked and, cannot find an official answer. I checked the FBI website and really didn't find a definitive answer. I do know the first three digits is an area code that is public record. I think the two digits pin point what city you applied for your SSN at.

How about this...why don't we start telling the requester that we will give them ours if they will give us theirs?

If they say no, we could take that to mean we should not do this.

Direct Deposit paycheck stubs that include my address name last four digits of SS and last four digits of bank account number accidentally thrown away into the trash anything I should worry about?

Nothing to be seriously concerned about because a social security number contains 9 numbers and the last 4 digits are just identifying you personally. No one would be able to open a credit card or bank account without your full social security number. The last 4 numbers of a bank account would not matter either as the entire number contains 12 numbers. Your name and address would not matter unless they also had your entire bank account number and/or social security number. If you should feel unsafe you're entitled to one free credit report per year from Equifax, Transunion, and Experian.

What is the total of numbers in a social security number?

there are 9 digits in the SSN The digits in the Social Security number allow for the orderly assignment of numbers. The number is divided into three parts: the area, group and serial numbers. The first three (3) digits (area) of a person's social security number are determined by the ZIP Code of the mailing address shown on the application for a social security number. Within each area, the group number (middle two (2) digits) range from 01 to 99 but are not assigned in consecutive order. For administrative reasons, group numbers issued first consist of the ODD numbers from 01 through 09 and then EVEN numbers from 10 through 98, within each area number allocated to a State. After all numbers in group 98 of a particular area have been issued, the EVEN Groups 02 through 08 are used, followed by ODD Groups 11 through 99. Within each group, the serial numbers (last four (4) digits) run consecutively from 0001 through 9999.

How many numbers make up a social security number?

A Social Security number consists of 9 digits and is structured as follows: 000-00-0000 The first set of three digits is called the "Area Number", and is based on the mailing address ZIP code used by the applicant. The second set of two digits is called the "Group Number"and is a series of odd and even numbers. The first set consists of odd numbers running from 01-09. Once these odd group numbers have been used, even group numbers take their place and range from 10-98. Once all of these group numbers are exhausted, the order is reversed, with even group numbers (2-8) coming first, followed by odd group numbers (11-99). The third set of four digits is called the "Serial Number", and runs consecutively from 0001-9999.
