Claims

Anyone can report the loss of a loved one. It does not need to be a beneficiary.

The loss of your loved one can be reported to Thrivent by completing and submitting this Report the Death of a Loved One online form. If you'd prefer to talk to someone at Thrivent about the process for reporting your loss, please contact us at 920-628-6713.

The type of documentation needed varies by the type of product and beneficiary designation. Most Annuity and Insurance claims will require a death certificate and beneficiary election statement.

On behalf of all of us at Thrivent, please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loved one. We will be in contact with the beneficiaries of record within the next 10 business days.

Losing a loved one is a difficult and deeply personal experience. While family and friends may provide emotional support, we have resources that can help you find comfort while guiding you through the decision-making process. These resources are available to you at thrivent.com/claims/condolence-resources.

We wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Many factors affect the length of time a claim is processed. Thrivent typically requires a death certificate and paperwork that designates how the beneficiary wants to receive the proceeds. Additional documentation may be requested depending upon the specific factors of the claim.

If you have questions on the status of your claim, you may reach out to your Thrivent financial professional or contact us at 920-628-6713.

The options vary based on the type of product and beneficiary designation. If you have a Thrivent financial professional, he or she can assist you with your options. You also can discuss the options with us at 920-628-6713.

You received a 1099 because you were a beneficiary of death claim proceeds from a Thrivent product. Please consult your tax professional for assistance.

Thrivent will accept initial notice from the insured, a Thrivent financial professional, spouse, or family member of the insured.

The Attending Physician's Statement contained in the Thrivent Disability Income Claim Form should be completed by the first doctor who treated the claimant and who can verify the disability. Sometimes the original doctor cannot verify the ongoing disability. In those cases, a second Attending Physician's Statement may need to be completed. The claimant completes section one and the doctor's office completes the remainder of the form.

Contact our Customer Care Center at 920-628-6715. A member of our claims team will collect some basic information from you and refer the claim to one of our claim coordinators.

A notice of claim should be provided soon after an eligible expense is incurred.

Most contracts define eligibility in terms of the assistance you need with activities of daily living (ADLs) due to a physical impairment or assistance needed because of cognitive impairment. Details about benefits and eligibility requirements can be found in your contract. Or, your claim coordinator will walk you through the eligibility requirements, as well as guide you in making an informed decision.

Thrivent recognizes that long-term care can be a very difficult time in the lives of our members. Our claim coordinators are here to serve you and make the process simple.

On your behalf, the claim coordinator will shepherd the process from beginning to end and keep you informed along the way. Our research has proven that having a single point of contact who can help you navigate the process will save you time and prevent delays.

A claim coordinator will contact you within 5 to 7 business days of your initial call to report a claim. During this welcome call, the claim coordinator will help answer questions you have about:

• The claims process. 
• What is needed during the process. 
• Benefits contained within the contract. 
• What the eligibility criteria are to be claim approved. 

Payment amounts are contained in the contract for insurance. Payment amounts are based on the licensing of the facility, and the care received in that facility. Some contracts pay a different benefit amount for care received in a nursing home versus in an assisted living facility.

Your claim coordinator can help you determine what expenses are eligible for reimbursement and how much you can expect to receive.

Thrivent's long-term care policies only consider reimbursement for private pay expenses incurred by the claimant. If the expense was completely covered by a third party and the claimant paid nothing out-of-pocket, there will be no reimbursement.
