Dwight Eisenhower's Social Security number was geographically associated with California!

Dwight D. Eisenhower 1890-1969

An RC Radio tip of the cap to poster "poutine" at The Fogbow who has obtained - legally - a copy of President Eisenhower's SS5 form. This is the form on which Ike applied and received his social security number in 1962. Guess what? Even though the mailing address listed on the application was "Gettysburg, PA". The number assigned was 572-64-0315. A quick check will reveal that the geographical location for the number beginning with "572" is California. So was Ike the first president to commit social security fraud? Will we have to close and raze the interstate highway system?

Of course Orly Taitz has literally made a federal case out of the fact that a social security number for Barack Obama has a prefix geographically associated with the state of Connecticut. The Social Security Administration cautions not to make too much of the geographical "area number" part of the social security numbers. The numbers are normally assigned based on the zip code where the SS5 forms are mailed today.Before 1972 the numbers were assigned based on the location of the office where the person applied for the number. We can all speculate on why at least two president's social security numbers are not geographically tied with their birth place but suffice it to say the odds are as low as Orly Taitz making a cogent legal filing that fraud was involved in either case.

RC Radio is contacting social security fraud expert Orly Taitz for comment. Stay tuned on that one.
