Federal Mandate
You may recall reading in a previous e-gram or Bulletin article of mine that the federal government is requiring group medical plans such as the one the SCDA offers its members to collect all dependents' social security numbers by the end of the year. While many members and their staffs have sent these in to us, we still have a ways to go. In the past, when an individual signed up for the insurance the only social security number that was requested was that of the policy holder, but this has now changed. Anyone who is covering a dependent on their medical plan, whether it is a spouse, child(ren) or all of the above, must submit the dependent's social security to the insurance carrier. If you have yet to do this, please take the time now to follow this link to print out a change form listing your dependents' social securities numbers, if covered under your policy and send it to the SCDA office either via fax at (803) 750-1644 or via mail at 120 Stonemark Lane, Columbia, SC 29210 | |
