Social Security Cards

In the US, Social Security cards are issued by the Social Security Administration. The card, or rather the number displayed on the card, is the de facto national identifier for US citizens, especially for tax and credit purposes. The original card is best kept carefully safeguarded and only presented as proof of citizenship and the right to work in the USA. The 9-digit number displayed on the card is privileged information which, if it becomes public, could be used to steal one's identity.

What state issue a social security card starting with 086?

A Social Security card starting with the number 086 is issued by the state of Florida. The first three digits of a Social Security number are known as the area number, which was originally assigned based on the geographic location of the applicant's mailing address at the time of application. However, since 2011, the Social Security Administration has been using a randomization process, so the area numbers no longer directly correspond to specific states for new numbers.

Does a Mexican need a social security card to work here. What if they are already on the payroll and later you find that the social security does not match?

Yes, immigrants who can legally work here, do need to appy for, and obtain, a social security card.

If a person is on your payroll, who you find does not have a social security number that "matches", it may be because the person is in this nation illegally.

You should speak to the employee, let them know that their social security card didn't match, and that you are legally bound to contact the appropriate authorities about that - assuming he or she has no explanation. Tell them you must have that explanation by the next day, or you'll have to call.

Then...if I'm not mistaken, the problem will resolve itself.

Can an illegal immigrant who was brought to the US when she was about 16 and left here by her mother who went back to Mexico and grew up here and is now 30 get a Social Security card?
