Claims Information



How do I submit a death claim?

What's needed:The designated beneficiary will need to download and complete the Death Claim form, as well as provide proof of death (i.e., certified copy of the death certificate or a notarized attending physician's statement).

Sun Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York pays death benefit proceeds directly to the named beneficiary via an interest bearing account, the Sun Financial Benefit Account. For beneficiaries' convenience, the account offers checkwriting privileges, allowing them to write a check for all or part of the funds as needed, leaving the account open as long as they desire. Beneficiaries will receive a monthly statement showing all checks written and interest credited to the account. (Due to various state regulations, there are some states where we do not offer this payout option automatically.)
