Does next of kin have any rights to life insurance death benefits if not listed on the policy?

This is actually not a straight answer but this is how it works. If the next of kin are not listed as the beneficiary of the policy and the current beneficiary is living; no, the beneficiary of record is entitled to payment from the insurance company. You could take the beneficiary to court to see if a judge will over turn it but it is unlikely that they will because the life insurance contract is a binding legal document. And furthermore the life insurance company is obligated to pay in monies to the beneficiary on record so by the time you take it to court that money would have already been paid out. If no beneficiary is selected, depending on the state the contract is enforced in, it money could go into probate and you would have to go through the probate process to have access to any funds. Keep in mind that probate opens the doors to creditors/debtors as well.

How can you determine if you are a beneficiary of a life insurance policy?

The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is designated when the policy is taken out. After that the policy owner (usually the insured but now always) can change the beneficiary by completing a change of beneficiary form. The company processes the change then sends you an amendment showing the change. Normally you put this amendment with the policy as it becomes part of the policy. If the policy owner kept their records straight then you could look at the policy and see the latest amendment to find out who the current beneficiary is. If your not sure the policy is kept up to date you can contact the company and see who the latest beneficiary is on the policy.
