Detailed explanation of the default SSN format 'AAA-GG-SSSS'
The first three digits were historically (prior to mid-2011) assigned by geographical region, and are thus called the area number. The area number cannot be 000, 666, or between 900 and 999.
Digits four and five are called the group number and range from 01 to 99.
The last four digits are serial numbers from 0001 to 9999.
