    In what would is this required? I didn’t have to produce a single document to add my kids to benefits. Hell, I could have added the neighbor’s kids.

      Different states have different rules. It could have been through the work too which can do whatever it wants.

        It’s entirely possible that if they looked up the kids information and found no record of their birth, because background checks and whatnot, trying to confirm that the kid even exists in the first place and it’s not a scam of some kind, then they would have to manually request proof of existence/citizenship.
