WRONG, volleyball.Newborn ifntnas were not issued SS numbers until the 1980s.Before that, you applied for one when you got your first job.I was born in 1954.I applied for my ssn by myself in 1970.Talk to the person in charge of the vital records department in your state.DO NOT TALK TO THE PERSON WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE.THEY CAN\'T HELP YOU.THEY DON\'T KNOW THE ANSWER.The department director can tell you how to do this.
