What if My Employee or Dependent Does Not Have a Social Security Number?

If an employee doesn't have a social security number: 

They will not be eligible for coverage. Insurance companies require a social security number on employee applications. 

If a dependent doesn't have a social security number:

You can still add them to the insurance policy. When you reach the step of the application that requires you to enter a social security number, you can input "123451234" and then you'll be able to move to the next step.

Some instances where a dependent might not have an social security number include:

• Adding a newborn dependent that hasn't been issued a social security number yet
• Adding spouses and/or children of employees who are in the United States on work visas

Note: Despite not needing a social security number for dependents to enroll initially, your insurance company may send a request for a social security number during renewal. It's best to send us social security numbers when they become available and we'll update your insurance carriers.
