Filing a claim with American Home Life.
If you’ve lost a loved one, we’re sorry. The fastest way to begin is to call our claims team, a real person who can look up the policy, walk through what’s needed, and send the right forms for your situation.
Claims line is open business days, 8 am – 4:30 pm Central.
A short list, gathered in one place.
You don’t need everything below before you call, we can start a claim as soon as you reach us, and tell you exactly what’s missing for your policy. But if you’d like to gather it in advance, this is the typical list:
If you’d rather download in advance.
Calling us first is still the simplest path, we’ll send the right form for your policy and answer any questions on the spot. If you prefer to print and prepare, here are the most common claim forms.
If a form link doesn’t load, please call us, we’ll email or mail it within the same business day.

Calling (800) 876-0194 is still the fastest way to begin a claim. But if you’d rather leave a few details now and have us reach out, this short form gets your file opened the same business day.
This does not file the claim. The official forms above (and the certified death certificate) still have to follow. This just lets our claims team know you’re reaching out and reach back to walk you through the rest.
A direct path to the benefit payment.
Our claims team works files directly with you, there are no call centers, no IVR menus, and no transfers between departments. The same person who answers the first call follows the file through to payment.
Once we have the death certificate and the completed claim form, we move quickly. If anything’s missing or unclear, we call you, not the other way around.
Reach a person, the same way you would have a hundred years ago.
Pick up the phone, send a fax, or send a letter to Topeka. Whichever way you reach us, the file gets opened the same business day.
