The nature of life insurance is such that death of the person insured is the occurrence that triggers entitlement to proceeds. Proceeds are payable to the person or entity named on the application as the beneficiary.

The insurance policy document will contain instructions as to how to submit a claim. These will include, for example, how to obtain a claim form, what to submit with the claim form (a death certificate will always be necessary) and other material information.

The required material will have to mailed to the insurer. Most states require that the insurer pay the claim within 30 days. However, under some circumstances the time for payment of proceeds can be extended if the insurer has a reasonable basis to investigate the claim, such as the cause of death.
