How long does a beneficiary have to claim on a life insurance policy? For any number of reasons, people delay claiming the death benefit from a life insurance policy. In some cases they may not even know they’re the beneficiary of a loved one’s policy. But if months or years have passed since the policyholder’s death, should the beneficiary worry about losing out on the benefit?
