What to do during Life Insurance claim?

Life insurance isn't about you; it's about them.

I haven't claimed my life insurance yet, and I hope I don't have to soon. But here's the truth: I didn't get insurance simply for myself. I did it for my wife, my kids, and my family as well. It was a long trip, and I'm still working on making additional rules for them, one at a time. I actually finished one insurance after paying for it for ten years. I started it before I got married, believing it would be for my retirement until I had kids. I didn't know that this would be utilized for my son's college fund or even for an emergency.

One day, I won't be able to take care of them anymore. And when that day comes, I want them to know that they will be fine for a while, even if I can't be there in person. I want them to know that there is a temporary food source that will aid them in case of an emergency. To be honest, the insurance I had was simply the amount I could afford. But at least I can leave them something after I'm gone; that's what life insurance really means: peace of mind. Even when you're gone. But the truth is that most parents, especially males, don't get how important it is.

A lot of households in the Philippines only have one breadwinner. For example, I am the only one in my family that earns money. One of the best ways to show that you care about your family is to get life insurance. It's a guarantee that says,

"You'll be fine no matter what."

If you haven't thought about it yet, maybe this is what you need to do. This might be your sign to stop and prepare for your family's future. Just in case you've constructed your own for a long time. Here are some tips on how your family can file a claim on the life insurance you bought for them.

How to Get Life Insurance in the Philippines (Without the Stress)

Here's a brief explanation of how to make a claim on your life insurance:

1. Find the policy papers

Finding the real policy is the first and most important stage. If it's digital, look in your email or online storage. If it's a tangible thing, I hope it's in a safe place.

My wife and I have a special envelope for all of our insurance at home. We've also exchanged passwords to our private vault in case one of us can't get to it anymore.

2. Tell the insurance company

Get in touch with the supplier as soon as you can. You need to provide them the policyholder's full name, the policy number, and any additional information they need. They'll tell you what to do next.

3. Send in the Death Certificate

For all claims, a death certificate from the government is needed. In cases of accidents or other unexpected situations, you may require further paperwork, such as police or hospital records.

4. Give valid government IDs

Beneficiaries must provide a valid government-issued ID to prove who they are. To minimize delays, always check the most recent list of IDs that are okay. (Click here to get the most recent list.)

After you send everything in, you have to wait. It can take a few weeks or months, depending on the case. But don't simply sit there and wait; remain in touch. If the insurance company asks for anything more, please respond right away.

When I help my clients, I stay with them the whole time. It's not just about the paperwork; it's about making a hard time a bit easier.

The insurance company gives the benefit to the people who are specified as beneficiaries if everything checks up.
