What are the SSN prefixes for Alaska?

Alaska was assigned the area-number range 574. A Social Security number issued there before 2011 begins with one of these three-digit numbers.

Does an SSN starting with 574 mean the person is from Alaska?

For cards issued before June 25, 2011, an SSN whose first three digits fall in Alaska's range was issued in Alaska, usually based on the mailing address on the application, not necessarily birthplace. Numbers issued after randomization carry no location meaning.
