Process and Requirements | Life Insurance Claims | MetLife (2024)

To submit a life insurance claim, please download the life insurance claim kit. We created the kit to guide you through the process. There are two claim kits to choose from depending on who’s the named beneficiary for the policy(ies):

1. Individual beneficiary claim kit– Choose this one if you’re the named beneficiary of the policy (i.e. John Smith).

2. Trust/entity claim kit– Choose this one if you’re claiming the proceeds on behalf of an estate, a trust or a company.

Please be sure to review the kit in its entirety, as it provides valuable information. You’ll need to complete the claim form within the kit and return it to MetLife, along with the death certificate and any other required documents as outlined in the kit.
