Losing first two 00's on my Maine SSN

How are you saving the session variables, are you using quotes around the number?
You should use something like:
<cfset session.ssn1 = '#ssn1#'>
and make sure you have quotes around it. . .

How are you assigning the 1st part of the SSN to a session variable. It
sounds like you are doing it in such away that it is being treated as an
integer or float. This would cause the drop of the preceding zeros.

The best solution for this would be to do something the treats the value
as a string.

Out of curiosity why are you breaking up the value. One usually sees
SSN numbers treated as a single value in a single variable.
