PAYMENT OF CLAIMS

HOW TO FILE CLAIMS

Before benefits are paid, United must be given a written proof of death, as described below.

PROOF OF DEATH REQUIREMENTS

1. First, your beneficiary or representative must request a claim form from the Human Resource Office or the Office of Retirement Services. This request should be made as soon as reasonably possible. When received, a claim form for filing proof of death will be sent to the beneficiary.
2. The proof of death form must be returned to your Human Resource Office or the Office of Retirement Services as soon as possible, but not later than one year after death.

WHEN CLAIMS ARE PAID

Policy benefits will be processed after receipt of acceptable proof of death. Any payment made in good faith will fully discharge United to the extent of the payment.

EXAMINATION AND AUTOPSY

Where not prohibited by law, United may require and pay for an autopsy.
