__________________________________________________________________

You may have been directed here because you appear to be entitled to unclaimed property in the form of a distribution from the demutualization of a life or health insurance company.

If you were an owner of a policy (“policyholder”) bought from a company that changed from a mutual ownership to stock ownership (“demutualization”), and you met certain eligibility criteria, you were automatically entitled to receive stock or cash distributed in the demutualization. If the company could not locate you, the demutualization proceeds would have been turned over to the custody of the state, as required by the unclaimed property law.

On this site you can learn what demutualization is and how it could affect you as a policyholder. You will also find links to demutualized company web sites and company contact information which you can use to inquire about the status of your policy or your ownership rights, or any other questions you may have.

PLEASE NOTE: The underlying insurance policy was not affected by the demutualization.
