    No.
    The original concept had the first 3 digits identifying a regional office that issued the number.
    And no SSN has been issued with any group of digits having all 0’s

    Fore more info Wikipedia is good at this kind of stuff.

    No, the first XXX and second XX are location and date identifiers. The last XXXX is your actual number.

      That’s why giving out the last 4 digits isn’t safe. It’s trivial to derive the first 5 with public records and a lookup table.
