Obviously a written statement would be best. But suppose this guy had intentionally wanted to make babies with three women instead of just one. Would all three children/families be entitled to SSA benefits? I suppose you could say it would be handled the same was as though he had personally impregnanted each of the women. But still, frozen sperm can last quite awhile, so a kid could come along years after the guy's death (as this kid did) and claim benefits that had already been parceled out.
