All states require verification of ownership when paying claims.  This authentication process protects you by assuring that only lawful owners can claim the property.

You can expect the state to request the following types of information; however, any documents you send to the state for the purpose of processing your claim should be attached to the claim form.
  • A document showing your Social Security number

  • Correspondence or other records showing your address matching that on record at the insurance company

  • Date of Birth of the insured (must match that on record at the insurance company if it exists)

  • Policy Number (match of claimant’s copy to that on record at the insurance company if it exists)

  • Copy of insurance policy

  • Mother's name, father's name, and their dates of birth

  • Other policy information (as contained in policy records maintained at the insurance company)
Once the state receives your supporting documentation, it may take several weeks to process your claim. You can help speed the process by following all instructions carefully, and promptly reviewing and responding to any correspondence you receive from the state.
