How Long Does It Take To Claim A Life Insurance Policy? 
Great question ! Insurance companies are required to pay out quickly after all required paperwork is filed . The payment can be quick , in the case of promptly sent death certificates , and claim forms . If the forms are delayed in sending , or doctors records are needed , etc. the payment may take a while longer . There are some companies that are quicker than others at paying out claims , because their administrative processes are better . Ideally you should have a payment within a few weeks of determination . If you need more information , please feel free to contact me . Thanks for asking !
