whom are unclaimed insurance funds owed? |
Unclaimed
insurance funds are owed to certain current and former policyholders
or their beneficiaries. The money is owed to individuals whom
we have been unable to locate in order to make payment. The insurance
policies involved are/were under the following programs:

| Where
did the money come from? |
This
money represents death awards, dividend checks and premium refunds
that were mailed to policyholders. These payments were returned
to VA by the Post Office because they could not be delivered. VA
holds this money until we can locate the policyholder. Some of these
payments have been held for years. |
| What
information can you get about unclaimed insurance funds from this
site? |
This
site contains a record of monies owed to individuals by name only
(the original policyholder's name). You can search for debts owed
to you or to a relative. However, even if there is a record under
the name that you enter, the money may actually belong to someone
else with the same name. If you find that there is a record of money
owed to someone with the name that you enter, you will be asked
to contact our office and supply additional identifying information
to ensure that the money is definitely yours before it can be released. |
| Important
Note |
For
a number of years, a
false rumor has been spreading about a special dividend on government
life insurance for all veterans. The monies discussed on this site
are not part of any rumored special dividend for all veterans. The
monies discussed here are legitimate payments owed to present and
former policyholders and their beneficiaries. |
