- How will I receive the insurance proceeds?
We offer four ways in which you may receive your insurance proceeds. The best payment method for you depends on the amount of your insurance proceeds and your own financial situation. In some cases, a payment method has been chosen for you by the policyholder (or contractholder). But in many cases, you are eligible to choose one or more methods of payment. Some of these options require a minimum amount. Your Financial Professional can help you determine which option is best for you. Note that death claims are payable only on policies/contracts that are in force at the time of Insured's/Annuitant's death.
