Detailed explanation-1: -Life insurance providers usually pay out within 60 days of receiving a death claim filing. Beneficiaries must file a death claim and verify their identity before receiving payment. The benefit could be delayed or denied due to policy lapses, fraud, or certain causes of death.

Detailed explanation-2: -A first-to-die policy pays out a death benefit to the surviving spouse (or other beneficiaries) after one policyowner dies. In most cases, the death benefit is meant to help the remaining individual cover living expenses or debts and replace any income lost from the other policyowner’s death.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once approved, the beneficiary can choose how they’d like to receive their life insurance payout, which is called the death benefit.

Detailed explanation-4: -Usually, most insurance companies offer a policy term between 5 to 40 years. One should always opt for a policy term depending on their retirement age. It can vary of course.
