Life Insurance Claims

We’ll do all that we can to guide you through the claims process during this difficult time. We’ll process your claim with special care and stay in touch with you throughout the process so that you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

Review the following steps to help you get started with your claim.

Step 1: Start your claim

To start a claim under a life insurance policy or annuity contract, the beneficiaries will need to contact the policyowner’s Erie Insurance agent or Erie Family Life at (800) 458-0811, option 2, or use our form to start a Life Insurance Death Claim.

Once we have received notification of a claim, we will provide the appropriate forms needed to any parties that will need to file a claim. As a beneficiary or claimant, some of the things you will need to provide are: 

  • A certified copy of the insured’s death certificate
  • A notarized signature on the claim form or a clear copy of your driver's license or state-issued identification for signature certification

You’ll also be asked to provide the insured’s full name and state of residence, date of birth, date of death, policy issue date and other details.

Step 2: Submit documents

Please mail all the documents to:

Erie Family Life Insurance Company
100 Erie Insurance Place
Erie, PA 16530

If you have questions at any time during the process, please contact Erie Family Life or your local ERIE agent.
