I worked for the Social Security Administration for many years and I have literally established paternity on hundreds of children after the wage earner was deceased. We were supposed to approach the problem with a desire to pay the child. After all, it wasn't the child's fault that it was illegitimate. That's the government's position. We called them 216(h)(3) children because that's the section of the law that allows payment.
First, you have to find written acknowledgment and you have to stretch this definition. If the deceased wage earner ever claimed the child on his taxes - even if he never named her, just the number of dependents. If he ever sent her a birthday card and signed it Daddy. If he ever wrote his sister and told her that somebody was pregnant by him. He wouldn't have had to mention the name. You see, you can find written acknowledgment in a number of ways.
BUT, in order to even get this far you would have to have the father's social security number. To get this you would need ALL of these things:
Name at birth
Date of birth
Place of birth
Mother's maiden name
If you don't have all of those things, forget it. You will never find out the number from the Social Security Administration. All 4 things have to match, period. So, whatever, I doubt that Casey would have known anybody's mother's maiden name.
This is interesting information, thanks. Personally and I'm not a mind reader or know it all but I think the Father has to be someone the family doesn't want anyone to know about. In other words, a married man the family knows or even a relative of some sort. It seems any time the subject is broached with Cindy, she gets tense and uptight about it. Why else would she freeze up unless the Father was someone like this. Just a thought.
