SSA is a convenient, interest-bearing checking account in which life insurance proceeds are deposited. With SSA, the
Beneficiary is able to earn interest on the life insurance proceeds while taking the time to weigh important financial
decisions that often follow the death of a loved one.
The Beneficiary will be mailed a checkbook once the claim is approved. In addition, all SSA accountholders have access
to 24-hour customer service via a voice response unit (VRU) and a dedicated customer service team.
Please make sure all required forms are completed and returned to our office. Our examination of the claim will
begin when all completed forms are received. Should you have questions, our office is available to assist you. Please call
