Oh, dude, it's like waiting for a slow-motion snail race. Typically, it can take a few weeks to a couple of months to get your hands on that sweet surrender cash from your life insurance policy. So, sit back, relax, and try not to spend it all in one place... or do, I'm not your financial advisor.
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.
To get back money when surrendering a policy, you need to contact your insurance provider or financial institution where the policy is held. Request the surrender forms and provide any required documentation, such as identification and policy details. Once submitted, the insurer will process your request and issue a surrender value, which may take a few weeks to be disbursed. Be aware of any surrender charges or fees that may reduce the amount you receive.
Since you paid it with after tax $$$ any money you receive would not be taxable, UNTIL it's more than what you paid into it. In that case, it might be better to take loans.
If you take a loan against the policy, the amount you receive is not considered taxable. However, if you later surrender (cash-in) the policy, the amount you received in the loan and in the surrender will then be considered taxable income.
When an insured purchases an insurance policy they pay the insurance company money for the insurance coverage. This money the insurance company collects is called insurance "premiums". The insurance company, using the law of large numbers, collects more money in premiums than it pays out in claims. The insurance also makes alot of its money by taking the money earned from premiums and then investing it. As we all know that Life insurance policy cash values are accessed through withdrawals and policy loans. However, withdrawals are taxable to the extent they exceed basis in the policy. Loans outstanding at policy lapse or surrender before the insured's death will cause immediate taxation to the extent of gain in the policy and hence benefits the company.
If you surrender a whole life insurance policy, you may have to claim the money on your income tax. The IRS states the amount you receive that is above the amount paid for premiums is considered taxable.

Face value typically refers to the death benefit of the policy (i.e. how much your family would receive if you were to die). Cash surrender value is the amount of money that has accumulated (tax deferred) inside the policy and is the amount of money the owner would receive (before taxes) if s/he were to cancel the policy. Cash surrender value is different from plain old "cash value" or "accumulated value" in that most insurance policies have surrender charges for 10 to 20 years that reduce the total "cash value" or "accumulated value" down to the cash SURRENDER value.
You cannot receive money back on your life insurance policy because you used it for the period of time it was valid. You cannot receive money back on this policy.

The main advantage of a life insurance settlement is that instead of a life insurance "surrender", (which sometimes happens if the owner can no longer afford the premiums),the owner of the policy can sell the policy to a third party and in turn receive "some" money from it. The person selling will definitely get less than the policy is worth, but more than if they completely gave it up.
Yes it is possible that you could have some taxable income when you receive a reimbursement from your homeowner insurance policy.
Yes, even if incarcerated, you will still receive proceeds from a life insurance policy if you are the valid recipient. They will not be able to receive the proceeds if they were the cause of the insured's death.
"Insurance and Taxes. No. All proceeds or withdrawals from any insurance policy are not taxable." This is not true. If you cancel a life insurance policy, the growth on the cash value IS TAXABLE. If you do not surrender your policy, the money is taken as a loan and therefore not taxable, but interest that has to be paid back to the insurance company grows.
