Social Security Numident Codes / Acronyms

Social Security Numident Code Acronyms or Abbreviations

A cool document to request when doing family history is the original application for social security. It's public information and for small fee you can request it.

My great grandfather is Vicente Hernandez. It just so happens that we named my 3rd son's middle name after Vicente.

On this form we have his social (SSN), Ethnic Code (ETC), Reference Number (RFN), (NAA) or recorded name on ss card, birth date (DOB), Place of birth (PLB), Foreign County Indicator (FCI), District Office Address (DOA). (CLD) I'm not sure of - if you know please comment.

I was searching all over to find what they abbreviations or acronyms were on a recent social security numident printout for my great grandfather. Glad I finally found some info about it and thought I'd share so it's easy for you all to find. Here's the reference to the page. http://rechtman.com/ssafaq2.htm
