Tammy,

You say "as required by the benefit carriers". Both of my insurance companies (health and dental) have explained that they do not require my SSN, and can use a blank or "dummy" SSN. All this requires of Trinet is to do a record update push to their systems.

Can you please tell me why this option is not being used? I asked in a recent email, but received no response. If I need to get my insurance companies to send you an official letter explaining that this acceptable, I'll be happy to do so immediately.

Also, I am not enrolled in benefits through Trinet. I have changed jobs, and my policy should have terminated at the end of May 2010. So even if it was the case that revoking my SSN from the insurance carriers' systems meant termination of my coverage, that would be a moot point.
