No one is ever emotionally prepared for the passing of a loved one.
The last thing on your mind when dealing with the grief of losing someone close to you is the responsibility and cost of dealing with their death.
On October 1, 2023, the Employee Benefit Plans added the option for a quick payment of up to $10,000 to help with immediate death-related expenses, such as funeral and travel costs. This payment is available to one named beneficiary of a Group Life Insurance plan member within 72 hours of 3sHealth receiving notification of that plan member’s passing.
Contact us here if you need to notify 3sHealth.
For participating plan members, this option is automatically available for all life claims over $50,000 with a named individual as a beneficiary.
Keep important information up to date
As life events such as family changes happen, it is important you take care of your loved ones by keeping your Group Life Insurance Plan beneficiary information up to date.
