Answered by 2 licensed agents

As soon as I provide the claim forms necessary and death benefits certificate if required by said insurance company carrier. If everything is in good order they could possibly receive funds within 10 days of death date hello that depends on how did the agent is personally I got a claim paid with three days

A beneficiary can receive that payout anywhere from a few days to a few months after submitting the death certificate. It depends on how straight forward the claim is and the amount.
