Life Claims FAQs

How long does it take to process a claim?

If the policy has been in force for longer than two years, it is considered “Incontestable,” which means it will be paid as soon as all of the required documents are received and examined.

If the policy has been in force less than two years, it is considered “Contestable” and will be subject to further review, which could increase the processing time.

For more information about the claims filing process, visit the Life Claim Filing Instructions.

Once my claim has been processed, how long will it take to receive my check?

Typically, you will receive your check within 10 - 15 business days from the time your claim was processed. If you haven’t received your check within 30 days of the date your claim was processed, please contact our Customer Service Department.

My policy has been in force less than two years, how can I expedite the processing time for my claim?

The process can be expedited by completely and accurately completing all necessary portions of the claim form, including listing on the Claimant Statement all known medical providers who treated the insured in the last 5 years.

I’m filing a claim for accidental death benefits, how can I expedite the processing time?

All accidental death benefits, regardless of how long the coverage has been in force, will be investigated to ensure the death meets the criteria of an accident as defined in the policy.

The process can be expedited by providing copies of the following documents along with your completed claim forms, the certified death certificate (including cause and manner of death) and a copy of the obituary (if available): Autopsy, toxicology, and police reports and a certified copy of the coroner’s report

I’m filing a claim where the manner of death of the insured was homicide, how can I expedite the processing time?

All claims where the manner of death is homicide will be investigated.

The process can be expedited by providing copies of the following documents along with your completed claim forms, the certified death certificate (including cause and manner of death), and a copy of the obituary (if available):

How do you determine who to pay?

The Application has a section for the policyholder to designate a beneficiary.

Through the life of the policy, the policyholder may change the primary beneficiary, add additional beneficiaries, or elect to list a contingent beneficiary under the policy. These changes are reviewed and then recorded in our computer system. It is important to note that we are unable to accept a change in beneficiary designation after the insured has died.

If no beneficiary is chosen while the policy is in force, or the listed beneficiary(ies) is no longer living at the time of the insured’s death, then the benefit will be issued to the Estate of the Insured.

If you need to make changes to your beneficiary, please contact our Customer Service Department at 800-433-3405
