When a policyowner or annuitant passes away, it's important that we hear about it promptly. Help ensure that your client experiences a smooth claims process by providing these details:
- Client's first and last name.
- Client's date of death.
- Beneficiary contact information, including email, phone number and mailing address. Missing beneficiary information is a common reason for delays in the process.
To start a claim, you or your client can call or email us with this information. A service specialist will help guide your client through the process and send the claim forms, including a checklist of the specific documents we’ll need from this client. After completing the forms, clients can return them to us by fax, mail or email.
