What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA
I am writing to inquire about the life insurance policy of my late husband, a former Boeing employee. My husband was an active employee through 2000. In 2000, my husband was forced into early retirement due to illness that impaired his ability to communicate. My husband passed away in the middle of last year.
I only RECENTLY became aware through chance correspondence from Met Life that my husband had a life insurance policy which he paid monthly premiums for, while he was an active employee. Upon review, I found this is well evidenced by paycheck stubs. His life insurance premiums, as itemized on his paycheck, were described as “Spouse Life Insurance” and “Optional Life Insurance.” As his surviving spouse, and sole designated beneficiary in all things, the payment of benefits under the “Spouse Life Insurance” portion of the policy has been settled by Met Life. With regards to the “Optional Life Insurance” portion of the policy, they don't have information on it in their records and informed me that I should address Boeing Company for authorization so that Met Life could settle this claim. Upon retirement, or anytime thereafter, my husband never received materials regarding the status of his life insurance policy which he faithfully paid premiums on for many years.
If this "optional life insurance coverage" which he paid for happens to be term life insurance can I contest it's possible expiration due to failure to notify of policy termination...because as I mentioned no paperwork regarding life insurance was ever received. Please advise.
Thanks
