Service Identifier: NID
This Service Provider is used to generate a valid and unique U.S. Social Security Number (SSN). By default, the United States National ID Service Provider algorithmically generates a consistently altered destination SSN based on the source SSN. This Service Provider can also generate a random SSN when the source data does not have an SSN value or when there is no need for transforming the source SSN in a consistent manner.
An SSN is made of Three subfields. The first Three digits (area) represent an area generally determined by the state in which the SSN is issued. The next two digits (group) define a group number corresponding to the area number. The last Four digits (serial) are a sequential serial number. Regardless of the type of processing, mask or random, this Service Provider will generate an SSN with a group number appropriate to the area number.
The mask method generates an SSN that includes the source area number as well as altered group and serial numbers based on the source SSN.
The random method generates an SSN that has a random area number and an appropriate group number and serial number. The group number assigned will be the most recent group used by the Social Security Administration for the area. Serial numbers begin with 0001 and are incremented by 1 for each additional SSN generated for the area number. When the serial number exceeds 9999, the serial number will be reset to 0001 and the group number preceding the number most recently issued for the area number will be used.
