Claim Procedures: Proof of Loss: The claim forms must be sent back to Insurer no more than 90 days after a covered loss occurs. Failure to furnish proof within the time required neither invalidates nor reduces any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within such time, provided such proof is furnished as soon as reasonably possible and in no event, except in the absence of legal capacity of the claimant, no later than one year after the proof of loss is otherwise required.
If Insurer has not provided claim forms within 15 days after the notice of claim, other proofs of loss should be sent to Insurer by the date proof of loss would be due.

Any payment Insurer makes in good faith fully discharges Insurer to the extent of that payment.
All other benefits will be payable to the Insured. However, if he/she has assigned his/her benefits, Insurer will honor the assignment, if Insurer has a signed copy of the assignment. A payment made pursuant to such an assignment shall discharge Insurer from further liability under the policy to the extent of such payment. Under no circumstances shall Insurer be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any such assignment.
Payment of Claims: When Paid: Claims will be paid as soon as Insurer receives complete proof of loss (and verification of age).
Misstatement of Age. (Not applicable to FL Residents) If premiums for the Insured are based on age and the Insured has misstated his or her age, there will be a fair adjustment of premiums based on his or her true age.
