    It can take from a few days to a couple of months to get a check from life insurance. You first need to request a claim form, fill it out, and return it to the insurance company with a certified death certificate. The amount of time it takes for them to process the claim and send you the check is a few business days to a couple of months.

    A death claim needs the required documentation such as the death certificate, newspaper obituary and the life insurance death benefit submittal form. Once those documents are in the home office of the issuing life insurance company it should take 30-60 days to receive the death benefit proceeds.

    If the paperwork is filled out completely and a certified death certificate is included with the paperwork, a life insurance claim can go through within a few weeks. However, even if there are problems, it is important for the life insurance company to get the check to the beneficiary within a couple of months. State regulators monitor this to be sure beneficiaries are paid in a timely manner.
