Should the insurance company contact the insured person when a life insurance policy matures?

When the policy matures, an attempt must be made to contact the policyowner at the last address the insurance company has. But if they have moved and not notified the insurance company, after a few months, the maturity value of the policy will be sent by the company to the State that they operate in as unclaimed property. If the policy simply ends - such as with a term life policy - the policy will state the date when coverage ends.
