Hi Everyone! Has anyone has ran into the issue when trying to add your spouse to your health insurance when they don't currently have a SSN yet?

 

My wife is trying to add me her insurance before I arrive in the US (whenever that will be due to the virus) but she is running into an issue of the insurance requiring a SSN for myself which I don't have yet.

 

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I'll be moving to FL. But if the insurance company insist that we def need one, I guess the next best thing to do is have a letter written from her company stating I will be able to be added to her health insurance plan once I've arrived.

Hi Boiler. Yes her company provided insurance.

Just need to kick it up the chain until you find somebody  who knows what they are doing.

An SSN is not required by law to obtain health insurance. You're going to have to tussle to get them to understand the rules that are in front of them.
