If an employee or covered dependent dies, when should a death claim be filed?
We recognize how difficult it can be to lose an employee or family member. We recommend you file the death claim with us as soon as possible following the death. As the policyholder, you need to complete the employer section on the Death Claim Form. The beneficiary will also need to complete their portion. A certified death certificate and valid beneficiary designation form should accompany the claim form. Additional information may be necessary, depending on the circumstances of the claim. This additional information may include, but is not limited to, an accident or official investigative report, toxicology and/or other autopsy report, trust or estate documentation or guardianship information for a minor beneficiary.
