Searching for Life Insurance Information from General Motors
I have a letter from 2004 from the National Benefits Center in Louisville indicating that my dad had some life insurance. Unfortunately, the phone number on the cover letter is no longer in service. We did receive a $10k payment from MetLife, but it appears this is related to the $34k basic group life insurance for salaried employees, which seems to be something different. I’ve already contacted MetLife and Fidelity, but they haven’t been able to locate any additional information. Does anyone know anyone else I can reach out to for help in finding out if there’s anything available for my mom? Thank you!
It sounds like you’re doing all the right things by reaching out to Met Life and Fidelity. Since you’ve confirmed the existence of the life insurance policy from the letter you received, here are a few additional steps you might consider:
Contact General Motors Directly: Since your dad was a salaried employee, reaching out to General Motors’ human resources or benefits department could be helpful. They may have records or information regarding group life insurance policies for employees.
Check with the National Benefits Center Again: If the phone number on the letter doesn’t work, consider writing them an email or sending a letter to inquire about the policy. They may provide updated contact information or more assistance.
State Insurance Department: Your state’s department of insurance may have resources or tools to help you track down lost life insurance policies.
Search for Unclaimed Property: You can check your state’s unclaimed property website. Sometimes life insurance policies become unclaimed if the beneficiary is not aware of them.
Professional Assistance: If you’re still having trouble locating the policy, you might consider hiring a professional who specializes in locating lost life insurance policies.
I hope you find the information you need for your mom! Best of luck with your search.
