How would a wife find out if her husband has changed his life insurance policy beneficiary at his job without her knowledge?

You must know where he last worked (he could still be working there) so simply phone and ask to speak to him and if he no longer works there you will be told. If he is still dealing with the same life insurance company phone them and let on you may want to bring your husband in along with you and possibly change the policy. They are more apt to give you information on this. Also, your husband must have a copy of that policy so I'd search around the house (if you are still living together) and find it. He may also have a safe deposit box at a bank. Depending on the company, many of them require any beneficiary changes to have the signature of the spouse on them. I've worked for three major companies and they all made me have spouse's signature if the beneficiary was anyone other than the spouse. The above poster is correct. However, if you call the insurance company and say "my husband and I would like to come in and discuss the policy" and your name is still on it they will ask more questions and ask what changes you want to make. If you are no longer on the policy you'll get the run around because they can't legally discuss this policy if you aren't the beneficiary. You'll have your answer.

Can husband collect life insurance if wife dies unexpectedly?
If the husband was the named beneficiary of the policy, if the policy was in force at the time of death, and if the cause of death was not excluded by the policy, the general answer is "Yes". If the beneficiary was the estate of the wife, the proceeds are paid to the estate. Then, if the husband was a beneficiary of the estate (either by virtue of a Will naming him as beneficiary, or if no Will, through the laws of intestate succession), he may be entitled to all or a part of the insurance proceeds. If the beneficiary of the life insurance policy was someone other than the husband as of the time of the wife's death, proceeds are payable to that person.
