Do you mean the insurance company that he had a life insurance policy with himself or is this the insurance company of the person who injured your husband with his/her car? This would be a most unusual request which I would not give them unless they provide justification for doing so. Ask them to send you a LETTER that officially mentions what information they are requesting from you and the reason that they need it. There might be justification for wanting the SSN number because that is needed for tax purposes, but the financial information is truly none of their business. If they continue to delay or stonewall you on this, you should seriously consider hiring a business law attorney to intervene on your behalf so that your interests can be protected. keith345@hotmail.com (Accountant)
