Customer ReviewsforSBLI

Very good experience so far, policy was emailed within **************************************************** my address easy to fix. So far very happy.

I would avoid SBLI life insurance at all costs. My Dad insured my Mom many years ago via a small $2000 policy. He put it on a monthly autopay ($33/month for over 10 years). Apparently, he negelected listing a beneficiary properly we are told. SBLI will not send us a copy of the policy or history. My Dad was a Navy war hero who survived driving landing craft for the beach invasions at Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, and his ship was sunk by kamikazes. However, being a elderly Vet, he wasn't good handling insurance matters nor did SBLI provide him proper guidance, apparently. They just collected payments monthly long after my Dad passed and also long after the policy was paid in full. My mom recently passed year later and I discovered the autopays and SBLI insurance, as my ********* had never mentioned it to the kids.After speaking to SBLI they noted the policy was "overpaid" by $700 and was in goodstanding. However, they are refusing to pay the policy benefits to my mother's estate, because she has already passed. My mom lived in ** where probate is not required for a very small estate like hers. SBLI knows requiring ******* probate to payout this policy would cost more than the policy is worth. SBLI won't even return the $700 overpayment that was made, which wasn't legally SBLI's money or part of the policy cost. Of course, sueing would cost far more than $700.One of the SBLI customer service reps was very nice and told us the same thing happened to her when her mom passed. Avoid this company as they will do anything to avoid paying out to claims & they are very skilled at dodging claims!
