You can obtain life insurance policies through agents or brokers, by mail, via the Internet, or through group plans offered by your employer or an association.
No matter how you buy your life insurance, you should only buy from a licensed company that offers policies approved in Washington state.
To protect you, the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) regulates all insurance transactions that take place in Washington state. To operate in our state, insurance companies must be licensed with our agency. Insurance companies must also file their policies with us.
In addition to our protections, state law created the Washington Life and Disability Guaranty Association. The association protects policyholders when insurance companies become unable to pay claims.
To find out if a company is licensed in our state, call our Insurance Consumer Hotline at 1-800-562-6900. You can also look the company up on the Web at http://www.insurance.wa.gov. Go to “For Consumers” and click on “Authorized Companies.”
