What if I lose my Certificate (Policy)?

If a policy is lost, the owner of the policy (also known as the “certificate”) should send us a short letter, fax or email saying the policy is lost. Include the policy owner's name, address, and telephone number, and the policy (certificate) number.

We will send you a Lost Policy Form, which you should complete, sign and return to the Home Office. Once we receive your Lost Policy Form, we will send a Duplicate Policy, which will replace your original policy.

As Primary Beneficiary, if someone dies, what do I do?

If a member dies, send us a letter by certified mail telling us the insured has died. With this letter, enclose all WPA policies the insured owned, and a certified copy of the death certificate. You should be able to get a certified copy of the death certificate from the funeral home. In your letter, be sure to include your name, address and telephone number.

Any policy proceeds will be made payable to the primary beneficiary listed on each policy.

How do I change my Beneficiary?

To change the beneficiary, the policy owner should send us a short letter, fax or email requesting a change of beneficiary. Include the policy owner's name, address, and telephone number, and the policy number.

We will send you a Request For Change In Insurance Contract (Policy) Form. You should complete and sign the form and return it along with your original policy to the Home Office for endorsement. Once we receive your form and original policy, we will change the beneficiary on your policy. We will then return your policy to you.

When filling out the new beneficiary information, please include the shares. A share is the fraction or percentage of your policy's proceeds that each beneficiary is to receive.

You must include at least one primary beneficiary on the Change of Beneficiary Form. The primary beneficiary receives the policy's proceeds. The primary beneficiary must be someone other than the insured.

Naming one or more contingent beneficiaries is not required, but we recommend it. The contingent beneficiary receives the policy's proceeds if the primary beneficiary is deceased at the time a claim is made on the policy.

Shares are required. This is a percentage (or fraction) to be divided among your beneficiaries.

We would like you to include your telephone number with your request in case we have any questions.
The form must be signed by you and a disinterested witness (The witness cannot be a Primary or Contingent Beneficiary).
Remember, the beneficiary change is recorded on your certificate, so please send us your original policy with the completed form.

 

What should I do if I move?

If you move, the policy owner should send us a short letter, fax or email telling us of the move. Include the policy owner's name, old address, new address, old and new telephone numbers, and the certificate numbers of all policies owned by that person.

We will update our records as soon as possible.

I did not receive a Premium Due Notice (or it was lost), what do I do?

If you did not receive a premium due notice (or it was lost), the policy owner should send a short letter, fax or email telling us the premium due notice was not received (or was lost). Include the policy owner's name, address, and telephone number, and the certificate number of the policy in question.

We will research our records and inform you of the status of your policy. If premiums are due, we will send you a duplicate premium due notice.

To change your name on your policy, the policy owner should send us a short letter, fax or email requesting the name change. Include the policy owner's original name, new name, address, and telephone number, and all certificate numbers of policies owned by that person.
