Please use the online form below to initiate an Accelerated Death Benefit or Terminal Illness Rider claim only if your policy has an Accelerated Death Benefit Rider or Terminal Illness Rider.
For additional policy and claim options, please refer to the Individual Claims page.
Check your policy contract, which was sent to you when your policy went into effect. Accelerated death benefit riders and terminal illness riders are provided under provisions that are called “policy riders.”
Any policy riders you have will be listed in the Policy Schedule section toward the front of the contract. If you have one or more Accelerated Death Benefit or Terminal Illness riders, they will be listed with these names:
The rider itself can be found toward the end of the policy document. It will list covered conditions for each type of illness. Check the rider language to verify your condition is covered.
We will verify your coverage and send you the appropriate claim form within 5 business days.
When all sections of the claim form are completed and signed, return it to the address provided on the form.
Please note:
After we receive the completed and signed claim form, our Claims Department will obtain medical records from all of the listed medical care providers, as well as any other information needed to process the claim.
The amount of time it takes to review and approve the claim will vary depending on the number of health care providers we need to contact and how long it takes them to provide records.
