All U.S. beneficiaries are required to fill out a Form W-9 to comply with tax regulations. The benefit for a life insurance policy is non-taxable, but the interest may be taxable if it exceeds $600. Even if the interest amount is less than $600, a Form W-9 is required.
American Fidelity can only release benefit information, including a copy of the policy, to the named beneficiary after the insured has passed.
No, if one beneficiary has submitted all necessary requirements, we can move forward with paying their portion of the benefit. We will not be able to release payment to an individual beneficiary until their requirements have been submitted.
If legal affidavits are required in order to confirm the surviving heirs, American Fidelity must wait until all completed and notarized affidavits are returned before we can move forward with payment.
If the claim is payable, the location of the death will not impact the payment.
Exclusions and limitations are provided within your policy. You may obtain a copy of your policy through your online account.
