Health Insurance

[tds0317 2]

Hi, Was wondering some opinions. My spouse and I were recently married. I went to put him under my health insurance but the the lady in HR kept getting an error because the computer wanted a ss number. Anyway, she wound up putting in the first 9 digits of his Visa control number and the computer took it.

It's my policy so I'm assuming the computer just needs some number to put in there before he can go under my policy as a dependent?

Any thoughts? Just hoping it won't be a problem.

when my husband added me to his policy they required a SS but when he explained i was going through immigration process and didnt have 1... HR just input 123456789 so i could be added to the policy but said sent me a reminder every few months that i needed to update it ASAP once i recieved my SSN... when our daughter was born while we were waiting on her SSN coming in the mail he was able to log into his insurance policy via the website and add her straight away as his child was able to leave the SSN field blank and once again they repeatidly sent us mail asking ot update our information when we recieved it in the mail

Ok, thank you. I assumed it was just a computer requirement and was hoping it was ok she put in that number.

I guess update it when he receives a ss number?

Yes... It's a mandatory field but any value will work because it doesn't validate the number against a database. Update it when he gets his actual SSN.
