Making A Life Insurance Claim
Learning how to file a life insurance claim now will simplify the process when you are dealing with the stress of a death in your family.
The American Council of Life Insurers offers the following tips for filing a life insurance claim:
Make multiple copies of the death certificate. The life insurance company will require the death certificate in order to complete a claim request. You can get the death certificate from the funeral director.
Call the policyholder’s insurance agent. He or she will help guide you through the claim process. They will also help you determine how you would like to receive the policy’s payout. If you are unable to find out who the insurance agent is, contact either your own agent or the life insurance company.
Call the policyholder’s employer if they have a group life policy. Call the employer (or their Human Resources department) directly for help filing this type of claim.
