It used to be that way, but they’ve changed to random enumeration a decade or so ago. Sadly not everyone has gotten that memo. As an immigrant I got one assigned to me that would’ve originated from a specific state before this change, now every once in a while when I go through those identity quizzes by credit agencies it’ll ask me in which state my SSN was assigned and I need to choose the state that used to correspond with those first few numbers even though I’ve never set foot in that state, otherwise it’ll fail the quiz.
