“Tragically, during the COVID-19 pandemic, some families have lost loved ones,” said IDOI Director Robert Muriel. “We encourage anyone trying to locate a life insurance policy to use the Department’s policy locator to search for unclaimed benefits.”

In Illinois, insurance companies must attempt to find the beneficiaries of deceased policyholders when life insurance proceeds remain unpaid. IDOI is here to help Illinoisans simplify the search process.
