  • Claiming Life Insurance Benefits
    Claiming Life Insurance Benefits What is it? Life insurance benefits are not automatic. If you are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy (usually your spouse's or other family member's policy), you must file a claim to receive any money. This can be as simple as contacting your insurance agent and filling out some paperwork. However, if this is the only step you take, may miss out on other life insurance benefits to which you are entitled. Your spouse or family member may have owned one or more group policies that pay benefits depending on how the insured person died or in restricted amounts. If you spend time uncovering these hidden policies, you may end up with more money from life insurance than you expected. Example(s): Arnold knew that he was the beneficiary of his wife's $100,000 individual life insurance policy, and he filed a claim form with his insurance agent. He didn't know, however, that his wife had signed up for credit life insurance when she bought her new van. When he went to the bank to make his wife's monthly auto payment, he was surprised when the bank manager told him that the car loan would be paid off by the credit life insurance company and that he wouldn't owe any more money to the bank. Claiming benefits from individually owned life insurance policies Finding individually owned life insurance policies Your spouse or family member may have owned one or more permanent (e.g., whole life) or term life insurance policies.

    new england insurance trust (N E I T) December 21, 2010 Ms. Jennifer J. Johnson, Secretary Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, Northwest Washington, D.C. 2 0 5 5 1 Re: Proposed Rule - Revisions to Reg Z - Credit Protection Products Docket No. R-13 90 Dear Ms. Johnson: We are writing on behalf of the Officers, Trustees and Member Institutions of the New England Insurance Trust (NEIT) to oppose the changes to the Group Mortgage Life Insurance protection disclosure rules referenced above. We believe that the disclosures are misleading and will harm us and our borrowers. Our Trust was formed in 1963 with the goal of providing member institutions and their borrowers with an optional Group Mortgage Life Insurance plan from a highly rated insurer, that was easy to qualify for and that was reasonably priced. Toward that end, we have maintained a philosophy of offering our borrowers one of the lowest cost group mortgage life insurance programs available in the marketplace while keeping economic and actuarial realities in perspective. This guiding philosophy has served us, and our borrowers, well for more than 45 years. The optional insurance programs we offer to borrowers help them pay off or greatly reduce the amount owed on their mortgage loans at an important time of need. They provide a valuable monetary benefit, as well as peace of mind that comes only from knowing that the borrower's family will be able to retain their home in the event of the death of the primary or secondary wage earner.
