Scenario: The SNCO claims the commander wants this information. They want to verify that he has his paperwork in order.

Senior NCO is a more of a rank identifier.. So the answer is no.

Can a service member with a Need to know who is a senior NCO request that info? Sure, but darn if I can come up with a need to know that info.
I can see assisting a soldier and that soldier has a need to know, paternity, spouse or child support... But I can't see that senior NCO requesting it directly unless a duty position and task requires it...
CID or MP investigator, medical , heck maybe even the housing NCO that needs SSN to confirm eligibility, or lack there of

I can see assisting a soldier as well. I just don't know any other reason to physically see all of the documents.

Sir I agree
That SNCO would need to be the person with a direct need to process something that requires that info....

I would say it depends as to why you want the information. If you are advising the Soldier that documents are required for DEERS updates, and/or Family Care Plan information, you could advise them what they need but your "need to know" would be in question unless you are the person processing the transaction.

I would say advising is perfectly fine. That's part of it, advising, mentoring how to go through the process of getting paperwork squared away.
