Please, please do not go with this company. My child's father got killed May 27 and Globe Life is giving me the runaround. They are steady asking for his medical records which he didn't die from any health issues. He died from being shot. I have sent them the medical information over and over. Now they telling me We won't get a payout until the investigation is over. It can take years for a murder case to close.
Now I'm struggling trying to pay for funeral expenses while also trying to grieve. I thought having a life insurance policy would be a little less stressful. I paid into this policy 4 years. I think it's time for me to get a lawyer. I really don't understand why pay insurance if they take families through so much. This really heartbreaking to me and my family. I had me and my children insurances with them. I dropped our coverage and went with another company. I would never want my kids to have to deal with a company like this if something happen to me.

"Globe Life ... receives far more complaints than a typical life insurance company. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Globe Life receives about 6.5 times as many complaints as a typical life insurer." That's your Google review. SUCKS. Planning to add my negative experience. Globe Life is a PREDATORY rip off that deliberately tries to STEAL your money through poor communication, unclear info, and unfair rates. They should be investigated/closed down. Harmful. Awful!

Near 30 years with Globe and they do everything to make it difficult when you need to do business with them. After 25 years of drafting my account, my now adult child is the only one to make the payment on MY Account stop. I pay for the policies, I bought the policy, but Globe will not allow me to cancel the draft on MY account and request regular billing. Absurd. It's my money, my account and no way to stop payment debited on my acct., They actually let me have to cancel ALL 4 policies for my grandchildren currently debited and lose my business, since my only option is to block Globe, just to stop ONE debit from happening. Very poor business practices. Also, a relative is now on FOUR months in trying to file a claim on her relative. Not sure I have ever seen such BAD customer service anywhere, hence the BBB ratings and consumer complaints are very telling.

The death of my mother was already traumatized experience and the last thing I wanted to deal with Globe Life refused to payout the benefit from the Life Insurance. I took a Life Insurance of $50,000 for my mother final arrangements and she passed, we assigned the Life Insurance to the funeral home where the services came up to about $19,0000 the third party would be paying to the funeral home. Globe life after numerous calls they have released only $8,000 to me, the amount to be released should have been at least $30,000.
My premiums of $252 was paid on time through automatically from my bank statement. The policy was in force. They have refused to tell me how did they came up with this amount of $8000.00 released to me. What happened with the remaining amount? Why they only paid $8,000.00? The funeral was $32,000, the third party assignment was about 19,000. From $50,000 - 19000 doesn’t add up to $8000.00. Is Globe life is a legitimate business? I need to report to my state consumer affairs and retain a lawyer to help with this situation.

My uncle passed in July of 2022. He had a policy with Globe Life & Accident Insurance for $25,000. The claim was 2 months from being held in the 2 year period. They researched his medical records for over 6 months before denying the claim. We are left with mountains of bills and heartache after his sudden death. Globe Life has not given a reason why it was denied. Be aware of this life insurance company! They will do anything to deny a claim!

Trying to cancel a policy that was transferred to me after my Mom died. First call resulted in no action on their part. I sent a request through their online form next, and that was ignored. I made a second call, and the representative told me using the form that was the wrong way to make my request. He told me that I need to send a bunch of info over email, including my SSN. I said I wasn't comfortable doing that, which was met with a weird attitude. I finally was gifted with the proper email address to contact, and they replied. The first time. They let me know which info to send to cancel the policy (didn't include my SSN). I sent that info and haven't heard back in 20 days. Reached out again and waiting.

I reapplied for life insurance, and was denied because of supposedly medication that’s on my prescription records, I’m a healthy 33 year old female mind you. I had insurance with this company up until February of this year… Now all of sudden I can get new life insurance because of my depression medication that I took in 2017 after the death of my child…
I haven’t taken medication since any type of medication since 2018, yet I am being denied life insurance this time around be I wasn’t denied in 2020. It’s wrong and unfair you can’t deny someone life insurance just because they took depression medication after the lost of their child!! Then no one ask why the medication was taken just denied me life insurance but if I am being denied now why wasn’t I denied in 2020? Seeing that my prescription history goes back to 2018 and 2017 was when I took the medication.
I was approved for life insurance through this company in 2020, I canceled my insurance because I realized it was term life and I needed whole life. Now I’m being denied insurance because of my depression medicine that I haven’t taken in 5 years. Like I said I’m a healthy female everything that’s on the prescription record shows medication I was prescribed during my pregnancy and after the loss of my child. Which I haven’t had a child in 5 years and haven’t taken depression medication in 5 years… which I lose my daughter 5 years ago. You can’t just deny someone off their prescription record without full details.

Well, where to start? I spent about 3 months trying to "buy" life insurance through Globe Life. Then this Sales Rep called me, goes by "Jakobi" Tried to upsale my life insurance policy. He ended up adding a second policy under my name. This company claims you don't need a medical exam if you purchase guaranteed whole life insurance, which is what I was trying to purchase. Two months after I started the policy, they claimed I needed a medical exam, beyond the medical questions I already answered 3 Times! I refused, and the "Jakobi" said he would get back to me once he spoke to the underwriters. It's been 4 weeks, no word, and they called me today to pay an additional premium! I cancelled the extra policy today on the spot. I always keep my promises, as I indicated I would do when I told "Jakobi". Thanks for nothing! Stay away from this company! Look for any other Life Insurance company!

If you get or have a Globe Life policy and pay on it for decades, then have an emergency and need to access the funds it will take a month to get your money, Yep 21 business days equals a month. With no explanation why it takes so long except "it's just how it is". Not to me. Not in this day and age, you have the request, you told me amount, you have completed documentation with signatures, why a month? What takes this amount of time, the amount doesn't change? This is helping your customers in their time of need is it? You don't even offer an expedited method of payment that we can pay for, just sit and wait and wait and wait some more.
For your antiquated computer systems to spit out a check that can be placed in snail mail instead of your customer's hands, is that so you can be withdrawn from any liability should postal service not be on top their game? They won't even send it first class, it gets sent just regular mail and they can't look up in the account notes if or when it will be sent. You are a huge operation that can afford state of the art systems, yet you won't step up to help your customers even when told how life threatening the situation has become. SHAME ON YOU GLOBE LIFE!!!! May you never have to rely on yourselves. I wouldn't wish your handling of such a time sensitive issue on anyone.
