SS Card

[sully326]

Ok so, DD is over two weeks old and I still don't have her SS card. I need it for insurance reasons but it's still not here yet. How long does it usually take? I had DS' within like, 7 days....Do I need to call someone? If so, who?

I got the twins' SS cards when they were 3 weeks old. That gave me a week to sign them up for health insurance. It was cutting it close, but it worked out.

If you were to call anyone, it would probably be the SS office.

Cole is 4 weeks and we don't have his SS card yet either. But I was able to sign him up without it. I just have to provide them information by September

I was told I wouldn't get my LOs for up to 6 weeks but we were able to add her to the insurance no problem.

G is 5 weeks old and I have yet to get his SS card but I was able to add him to my insurance without it.

But my first epic mom fail was realizing at 34 days old that I needed to add him to my insurance by 30 days after his birth. Luckily the HR woman was lovely and said it was no big deal. Thank god.

We got the SS card around 2 weeks, but the hospital gave us the information form needed for signing up for insurance - no SS card necessary.

I think the hospital said it (can) takes 6-8 weeks. LO will be 3 weeks on Wednesday and we got hers in the mail towards the end of last week

I wouldn't call anybody yet, and I was able to sign up my LO for insurance without it as well

We got ours last week.

We got C's around the 2 week mark. We were able to add her on to our insurance right away but we have to send in verification of birth. I had to go to the local library Friday to pick up an official birth certificate so we can send in a copy. It's nice having all her docs together already.

[sully326]

(Im)patiently waiting for charlotte's card to get here....DH's work has been a PITA about insurance and I want the card to make it as easy as possible to sign her up for insurance. We got a $500 bill from her pedi and I am NOT about to pay that out of pocket because I have to wait for this damn card!

[missjenniebean]

Insurance still took her info without it but required it once I got it....the hospital told me two weeks to receive it but I received it exactly a month after she was born. Don't bother calling, they will just tell you their alloted time to send it to you based on your state. I called and that's what they did to me.
