THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE IS HELPING FAMILIES COLLECT UNPAID LIFE INSURANCE CLAIMS. 

IT’S THE DUTY OF INSURANCE COMPANIES TO PAY BENEFICIARIES…BUT POLICIES AREN’T ALWAYS PAID OUT FOR VARIOUS REASONS. DIRECTOR ROBERT MURIEL SAYS CONSUMERS CAN SEARCH TO SEE IF THEY ARE DUE ANY MONEY ON THE DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE’S WEBSITE.

MURIEL SAYS THERE IS A FORM THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT WITH THE NAME OF THE DECEASED PERSON AND OTHER DETAILS.

SO FAR THIS YEAR…THE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE FIND AND COLLECT MORE THAN 15 MILLION DOLLARS FROM LOST OR UNCLAIMED LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES. VISIT INSURANCE DOT ILLINOIS DOT GOV FOR MORE INFORMATION.
