Yes, you can get the records for your own SSN. SSA maintains a data base that shows everytime you applied originally, got a replacement card, changed your name etc. There are rare cases where the number has to be changed due to a duplicate issue to 2 different people or for other reasons (i.e., 666 is in the number and you have religious objections comes to mind).
No such thing as a generic SSN
