How long after the effective date of life insurance policy can a death claim be reported?

The key date for a life insurance policy is the date of death, rather than the effective date of the policy.
Since a life insurance policy is a written contract, the law of the state in which the policy was issued will provide how long one has to file suit on a written contract. However, filing suit should be the last resort.
The policy will probably have a section addressing "Claims". It will specify the procedure to be followed, what the company needs, and where the material is to be sent. It may also state a fixed period of time after death to submit the claim, or "as soon as practicable". This suggests that there is some flexibility in the timing, and that the insurer realizes that claims are usually not filed immediately.
