Filing a Life Insurance Claim

We understand that when something unfortunate happens, dealing with the aftermath can be stressful. That’s why we try to support you and make things as easy as possible.

What to do when a loved one passes away

Dealing with such an emotional situation is difficult. You can count on us to make the claims process as easy as possible for you.

What you need to do in order to make a claim will depend on the type of policy and the insurance amount that was purchased. If you have a policy with a face amount up to $25,000, please inquire about our express claim option.

When you call us to make a claim (1-877-519-9501 for term, permanent or universal life insurance and 1-800-845-9750 for personal accident insurance), we will guide you through the process and identify the documentation you need. In general:

• You will need to complete a claim form. If you don't have the form, we will send you one upon request.
• You will need to obtain a death certificate and the birth certificate of the person who has passed away.
• You may need to ask the physician to complete a physician's statement form.
• You will need to submit your claim within a certain period of time. This timeframe varies by type of insurance, and will be outlined in the life insurance policy.

If you have the insurance policy or policy number handy when you call, it will make it easier to provide assistance. But if you don't have it, we will still be able to assist you.
