Subject: Assistance Needed: Life Insurance Inquiry for General Motors
Hi everyone,
I hope you can help me out. I recently came across a letter dated 2004 from the National Benefits Center in Louisville indicating that my dad had a life insurance policy. However, the phone number listed on the cover letter is no longer in service.
So far, we have received a $10,000 payment from MetLife, but I believe there is a $34,000 basic group life policy for salaried employees, which seems to be a different matter. I’ve contacted both MetLife and Fidelity, but they haven’t been able to locate any additional information.
Does anyone know of any other resources or contacts I can reach out to in order to find out if there are any benefits available for my mom? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
It sounds like you’re doing a thorough job of tracking down your dad’s life insurance benefits. Since you’ve already contacted Met Life and Fidelity, you might want to try a few additional approaches:
General Motors Benefits Center: Reach out to the GM Benefits Center directly. They might have a dedicated phone line or email specifically for inquiries related to benefits. You could find this information on their official website.
State Insurance Department: Contact your state’s department of insurance. They might be able to assist you in finding any unclaimed insurance benefits or policies.
NAIC Life Insurance Policy Locator: The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has a service called the Life Insurance Policy Locator which can help you find lost policies. You can submit a request through their website.
Unclaimed Property Division: Check with your state’s unclaimed property division. Sometimes life insurance benefits may be turned over to the state if no claim has been filed.
HR Department or Union Rep: If your dad was involved with a union or had contact with GM’s HR department, they might have records or further information on employee benefits.
Hopefully, one of these avenues leads you to more information about your dad’s life insurance. Good luck!
