Answer 1

Well, refusing based on teh SS number is silly,  your employer is REQUIRED to have your SS number on file, to pay your wage and employment taxes.  If you don't give him your SS number, he CAN'T pay you.  

But I'd be leery of an "insurance waiver".  Unless that's really not what it's called.

Answer 2

Insurance carriers do require some information when waiving coverage, you could probably get away with only putting your birth year down and the write x*x-XX- and putting the last four numbers of your SSN.  Just explain to your employer you are not comfortable with giving out this information. Since you are not taking the coverage the insurance company should not have a problem with it.
