Term life insurance does not build a cash value. It simply covers the insured person for a certain term or period of time.
Pure term life insurance. In this kind of policy, there is no cash value of the policy for the insured. The policy holder gets no tangible or monetary benefits as long as he/she is alive. Only the survivors of the insured can reap the benefits of this kind of policy. So, we can say that this type of policy has no cash value for the insured individual.
The company pays the surrender value and have no further obligations to the policy owner under Cash surrender
When the owner withdrawals cash for personal use,
A life insurance policy has an owner, who is the person who is buying the insurance, as well as a designated beneficiary. Some kinds of life insurance, called whole life, have value as an investment and can be cashed out by the owner if he or she so desires (unlike term life which has only a death benefit and no cash value prior to the death of the insured). Now, you haven't said who this other person is who has received a payment from the insurance company. If it is someone other than either the policy owner or the beneficiary, the only other scenario I can imagine is that someone filed a lawsuit claiming that there was some kind of fraud going on, and that he (or she) is the actual owner or beneficiary of the policy, and not you. If the judge agrees, then the insurance company must comply.

Whole Life insurance is not a security. Because there is a guaranteed cash value during any year the policy is in force there is no risk of loss of principle (unlike a security that has no principle guarantee to the owner). Being a unilateral contract the insurance company must contractually pay out the cash value at any time the policy owner requests it (or at any time pay out the guaranteed death benefit upon the death of the insured). With the market unsteadiness we have seen the last several years, whole life insurance is once again becoming popular because of its guarantees (both death benefits and cash values).

Cash value of whole life insurance is referred to as the "Cash Surrender Value". The cash surrender value is money the policyholder is supposed to receive from the insurance company when surrendering the whole life insurance policy with cash value. The cash surrender value amount due is the sum of the cash value stated in the whole life insurance policy minus any surrender charge and any outstanding loans and interest due on the loans.

Yes, if your life insurance policy has accumulated cash value. Not all life insurance policies will accumulate cash value: for example, term life insurance policies will not accumulate any cash value.
