I've heard this a bunch of different ways, but I was wondering if Kevin or BEK or someone who has access to the documents could confirm/deny this.

I was at a dealer today, and I asked him this:

My grandfather is a retiree, can he give his PIN (Z plan) to me?

He pulled out a plan sheet, and I read with my own two eyes that grandchildren were listed as eligible.

However, the plan sheet was from 2002, and this salesman was not sure if that was the newest one or if anything had changed since then. Can anyone help me out? Thanx.

Your Grandfather can get a PIN assigned to you assuming he still has one left for the year. He will just need the last 4 digits of your SS#.
