is my social securiy number really required to be listed as a benificiary on my mom's insurance policy?

Answer 1

in some states yes, in others, no. No matter what the situation is, it should really be on there if you are the beneficiary. You don't want some other person with the same name as you get the death claim.

In my state, its the policy owner's own discretion on whether or not they want to give out the beneficiary's social security number.

Answer 2

Yes. This is a question to ensure the beneficiary's identity, and your social security number is the best one. However, don't give it out in general -- identity theft is a real issue, with the amount of identity theft crime going up every year.

Answer 3

unquestionably you could. maximum businesses require an "insurable interest" may be the beneficiary. as quickly as I write a existence coverage we record a kin member till it gets issued, after which you will replace it to everyone (even your canines) you pick. existence coverage does no longer pass by probate, so once you bypass away, your brothers and sister won't be able to contest it or reason her any grief.

Answer 4

Technically, no. But if she dies, and there are two "Jane Smiths" claiming to be THE Jane Smith she meant, don't expect to get the check without a huge legal battle.

The date of birth and SS# are intended to qualify, without a doubt, exactly WHICH Jane Smith is supposed to be paid.

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

For health insurance - yes, it's a secondary identifier. (What if they screw up your member number? Or your name? Or date of birth?)

Answer 7

Yep...it serves to locate you, tax purposes, and to verify your identity when you attempt to cash in on it.

Answer 8

i don't know what state you are in but in iowa it has to be there, what if there were 3 other people with your exact name!

Answer 9

yes. unless you want someone who claims to be you to receive your inheritance.

Answer 10

yes it is
