  1. What is FindYourPolicy?

FindYourPolicy.com is a secure online registry service. Members register the names of insurance companies which they have policies with. Members also list the email addresses of anyone who they feel needs to know where the name of their life insurance company can be located. FindYourPolicy.com sends emails to these beneficiaries so they will always know where to locate your information.

  1. Why was FYP created?

FindYourPolicy.com was formed in response to the problem of unclaimed death benefits and other assets. There is no national or statewide database of life insurance policies that anyone can go to for help. Insurance companies may not even be aware of members’ deaths, and are not required to track beneficiaries. The Medical Information Bureau estimates that $1 billion in life insurance payouts goes unclaimed each year due to lost or unknown policies. FindYourPolicy.com’s primary objective is to ensure that members’ efforts to secure their families’ futures don’t go to waste.

FindYourPolicy.com provides members and their beneficiaries’ peace of mind, ensuring that members’ financial legacies are not lost due to simple human error, passage of time, relocations, buyouts, natural disaster, or lack of communication.

  1. Is my information safe and secure?

Members’ information is protected with physical and digital safeguards similar to those employed by banks to secure online banking transactions. Member information is further secured by the fact that FindYourPolicy.com does not ask for full Social Security Numbers or Social Insurance Numbers, policy or bank account numbers, or account balances. The two institutions that you deal with when purchasing Life Insurance are insurance companies and banks. With only a name, a thief cannot penetrate these two institutions without proper identification. In other words, any information to be gained by breaching FYP’s security would be useless for purposes of identity theft or other types of theft or fraud.

Furthermore the Privacy Access Code gives you the control to limit who sees your information. If the Privacy Access Code is lost, a Death Certificate must be sent to FindYourPolicy.com along with $50.00 (Cashiers Check) for us to verify. When the Death Certificate is verified we then will remove the Privacy Access Code needed to view your information.

  1. When I pass away, how can my beneficiaries use the information I’ve registered with FYP?

Your designated beneficiaries may go onto FindYourPolicy.com to find the names of the insurance companies that you have listed. Your beneficiaries can then contact the appropriate institutions for further information about claiming life insurance benefits. When approaching these institutions, your beneficiaries will need to have your full Social Security Number or Social Insurance Number, and a signed/sealed death certificate. Specific laws and practices may vary.

  1. What information will the beneficiary find on FYP?
