On December 17, 1935, the Board approved the 9-digit option (McKinley and Frase 1970, 323). The Board planned to use the year one attained age 65 as part of the SSN, thinking that once an individual attained age 65, the SSN would be reassigned to someone else. But at a meeting on January 23, 1936, the unemployment compensation delegates objected to the use of digits to signify age because they thought a number of workers would falsify their age. As a result, a new scheme adopted by the Board on February 14 consisted of a 3-digit area code, a 2-digit month of birth, and a 4-digit serial number.

Generally, area numbers were assigned in ascending order beginning in the northeast and then moving westward. For the most part, people on the east coast have the lowest area numbers and those on the west coast have the highest area numbers. However, area numbers did not always reflect the worker's residence. During the initial registration in 1936 and 1937, businesses with branches throughout the country had employees return their SS-5 Application for Account Number to their national headquarters, so these SSNs carried the area number where the headquarters were located. As a result, the area numbers assigned to big cities, such as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago, were used for workers in many other parts of the country (McKinley and Frase 1970, 373). Also, a worker could apply in person for a card in any Social Security office, and the area number would reflect that office's location, regardless of the worker's residence.
However, difficulties in recruiting personnel and setting up offices would make it impossible for the Bureau to handle the workload. As of September 30, 1936, Bureau of Old-Age Benefits employees numbered only 164 (Corson 1938, 6). Fortunately, the Board was able to enlist the Post Office Department to issue SSNs, signing an agreement on September 25, 1936. The Post Office Department had 45,000 facilities and over 350,000 employees at that time (Wyatt and Wandel 1937, 52).
Beginning November 16, 1936, the post offices sent Form SS-4s to employers based on the lists they had compiled earlier that month. Along with information about the business establishment, employers were asked for the number of workers they employed. The mail carriers collected the completed SS-4s a week or two later. Based on SS-4 information, the post offices delivered Form SS-5s to the employers the following week for distribution to employees (McKinley and Frase 1970, 368).
Effective July 1937, Bureau field offices, still numbering only 175 with 1,702 total employees, took over the enumeration workload from the post offices (Zwintscher 1952, 90; SSA 1965, 25). By that time, some 35 million SSNs had been issued at a cost of $5.7 million (SSA 1990, 1; McKinley and Frase 1970, 372).
Until recently SSA also maintained a separate SSN master file indexed by cardholder name. The Alpha Index File or Alphident enabled SSA employees to search by name if the number was unknown. In the process of modernizing SSA's master files, this file was converted to an IBM DB2 relational database linked to the Numident file. This database provides the same basic functionality as the Alphident. Like the Flexoline, the DB2 uses the Russell Soundex Coding System to group all surnames that have the same basic consonant sounds. When an individual's identifying information is available, an SSA employee can attempt to locate the SSN using a key based on the Soundex version of the last name, plus the first 4 characters of the first name, plus the century, year, and month of birth. SSA has designated this database a sensitive file and access is restricted.
From the beginning, the process of assigning SSNs included quality checks. SSA employees had to account for every number and explain any missing serial numbers fully. Also, the SS-5s and the OA-702s were coded separately by different clerks and were later compared as a quality check (Fay and Wasserman 1938, 24).
Still, as one might expect, an undertaking as enormous as enumerating 35 million workers in one concentrated effort was bound to encounter some problems. Many individuals received multiple SSNs. Some people were under the impression that the more SSNs they received, the better. Others thought they needed a new SSN for each new job. Workers sometimes lost their original number and applied for a new one. Also, a great many unemployed and WPA employees applied for SSNs both during the initial registration and again through WPA or private employment registration. Sample studies in 1937 or early 1938 indicated that duplicate account numbers had been issued to not more than 3 or 4 percent of the applicants (Corson 1938, 4).
Once you gain access to the lifeworks registration page be sure and use your full first name, last name and employee serial number you used when you retired. Do not use initials or any supplemental employee serial numbers. The lifeworks.com registration process cross checks your first name, last name and serial number (as shown in IBM Blue Pages) when you retired to confirm your IBM retiree status.
I've seen this behaviour before with another client except it was more overdone then this in that it just had the serial number of the frame it was on with nothing concatenated on the end for the slot. My suggestion would be to modify the identification rule for AIX server and remove the serial number lookup at all from it. In this case what I am hearing is that name is actually what should be looked at for each of these regardless of what frame they happen to be on at that point so you can probably set name to the first order to run. The only reason why I recommend deactivating the serial number is that at some point you will have a new server that hasn't been discovered before that will contain a serial number that already exists on an older item (maybe it's moved frames) and you will end up updating that one instead of creating a new CI.
These rules should be matched one by one (based on priority) to avoid duplicates. In your case serial number is not a best way for identification. As an option you can set Name attribute higher priority (50) and Name will be matched first and AIX Servers will not adopt the old serial numbers.
I.e. scenario: Server AIXLAB is installed on IBM P8 frame with chassis serial 12345 and is allocated partition ID 10 on the P8 frame. Discovery will create the CI record for AIXLAB with Serial number: 12345_10.
So now Discovery will find AIXLAB with serial 67890 allocated to Partition ID 20 and will insert a new orphan server record in the CMDB with serial number 6789_20 CMDB. It is deemed orphaned in our case as it is not related to a service CI at that point in time. It is not duplicated in the true sense of the word from an IRE perspective.
next scenario: Now let's say there is a server called AIXLAB2 and is migrated from a P9 to the P8 chassis with serial 12345 and is allocated the partition ID 10. Then AIXLAB2 will be discovered with serial number 12345_10 and the CI record is updated from AIXLAB to AIXLAB2. Thus the update is valid from an IRE perspective, but the server record is now misrepresented and the relationship to downstream service CI that were associated with AIXLAB is now related to AIXLAB2 and is not correct.
Each card is tracked per employee by a serial number. Every month your organization or business will receive an invoice showing the number of rides and cost per serial number for the previous month. Cards can be easily deactivated in case of an employee departure or loss of card. There are no minimum requirements in terms of usage or participants.Cards are not eligible for transfers.
All mobile devices have a unique identity that is made up of an IMEI number, serial number and model number. The IMEI (or MEID) and serial number are two forms of identification for your phone or tablet. Just like fingerprints for people, these two numbers are different for every phone and tablet. These identifiers help ensure that your device is not a counterfeit and can also help you find it if it is lost or stolen. Additionally, sometimes you may need the IMEI or serial number to redeem special promotions from Samsung.
A serial number and IMEI are similar, but have some differences. The serial number is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer (like Samsung) to help identify an individual device, like a phone, tablet, TV, and so on. For example, your phone's serial number will be different from every other phone Samsung has made. Serial numbers make it easier for the makers to organize and keep track of their products.
On the other hand, an IMEI or MEID is only used for phones or other communication devices. Depending on the carrier, your device will have either an IMEI or MEID. These two numbers are different from a serial number. They are used at an international or global level, not just by manufacturers. Both types of numbers can help network providers track down a device that has been stolen or lost.
Sometimes it can be useful to identify computer hardware for inventory purposes using its serial number, which is often written on a small sticker affixed to the underside of the device. The serial number is also found in the BIOS, and can be retrieved using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
The get-ciminstance PowerShell command was introduced in PowerShell 3.0. It allows administrators to run WMI queries on local or remote computers. To retrieve the BIOS serial number of the local computer, we need to access the Win32_BIOS WMI class.
All Forms SS-4 received by mail/fax and processed with newly assigned EINs (domestic and foreign) must be sent to files in brown folders (Document 6982) with the processing date and the IDRS number of the assigning employee notated on the outside of the folder.
The note above will be disregarded, and the addresses and/or phone numbers can match when:1) You determine that the TPD is the spouse of a sole proprietor, an employee of the new entity, or the TPDs office is in the same building as the taxpayer, and in any of these cases, the TPD is duly authorized to obtain the EIN via the signed Form SS-4.2) The new entity is a Home Care Service Recipient (HCSR) and the Household Employer (Fiscal) Agent is the TPD applying for an EIN on behalf the HCSR.
