Simple answer. Get the social security number for the child.
You should be able to add her. That doesn’t make sense. Call your company’s human resource center.
Get a social security card for your wife. The child won’t be on anyone’s insurance until it is born and can’t get a social security number until it is born.
Depending on the company, typically you cannot add anything to your policy outside of the open enrollment period (usually in January) except in the event of a life changing event. If your wife had been added when you were first offered benefits or when you got married, or during an open enrollment each year you would be covered. The next opportunity you would have to make changes is either 1) once the child is born or 2) when the next enrollment period is. Unfortunately you’re out of luck.
