Beneficiaries of life insurance proceeds face a unique set of financial,
legal, and emotional issues. ING Employee Benefits strives to go beyond
the traditional role of financial services companies by offering a comprehensive
package of support services to beneficiaries.
Once a life insurance claim has been initiated, we
offer the following services to make this difficult time a little easier:
- Easy access to life insurance proceeds:
When proceeds are paid, beneficiaries have full access to their money
through a special ING Personal Transition Account.* The draw account
earns a competitive interest rate from the date of deposit and
is guaranteed by the insurance company that issued the policy.
- Toll-free phone support:
Our experienced customer service team is available
to answer beneficiaries’ questions
and concerns. In addition, beneficiaries have access to an automated
24-hour phone system and will receive periodic account statements.
- Practical, easy-to-understand materials: When
the claim is processed, beneficiaries receive a Beneficiary Kit,
which includes a complimentary Bereavement Guide along with an explanation
of benefits confirming payment of proceeds. The Bereavement Guide
provides information on decision-making as well as contact information
for various resources and programs that can give beneficiaries the
assistance they need. As beneficiaries start rebuilding their lives,
they will be reminded that we care about their financial and emotional
well-being in a complimentary newsletter. Published with beneficiaries
specifically in mind, each issue provides unbiased, practical information,
which will help beneficiaries make informed life decisions on an
ongoing basis.
- Financial Guidance: When beneficiaries are ready to think about their long-term financial strategies, they can contact us for access to financial professionals and diverse financial products.**
Beneficiary Support Services come at no cost to beneficiaries.
* Proceeds of $5,000 or more are generally paid into an ING Personal Transition
Account. ING Personal Transition Accounts are not available in all
states.
**Securities offered through various broker/dealers including ING Financial Advisers, LLC (member SIPC).
Life Insurance is provided by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company and ReliaStar
Life Insurance Company of New York.
