Question

is Unum allowed to request my entire SS file?

Asked on February 17th 2014 by Bartum Kulah
UNUM recently requested my entire Social Security file and sent release to speak with my relatives. They also are checking on whether I’ve worked since being disabled. Are they allowed to request my entire file instead of being specific as to disability income and determination letter?

Bartum, If you signed a release allowing them authority to request your entire Social Security File, then yes, they may.
