SSN numbers are good for 999,999,999 people alive or dead. At some point the US will hit that, right? Do we start reusing numbers? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

    I think they’re used as placeholders while they file the documents. My OG SS number started with 950, but that only lasted until the paperwork was complete.

    Obviously I won’t be sharing my private info here though, but yeah, those numbers can’t officially start with a 9.
