I became my mother’s primary caregiver the last couple of years of her life and knew I would need help to cover funeral expenses when she passed away, the commercial on TV touted they would be there to help you cover final expenses... The policy was just under 2 years old and my mother fell and broke her hip and died soon after. Her death was listed as accidental on the death certificate due to the fact she had fallen and broken her hip. I had to go back and get her doctor to fill out paperwork and now they are saying they will also be reaching out again to her doctor, obviously trying to find any reason not to pay!
The policy clearly states if someone dies as a result of an accident, it will pay, even within the first two years of coverage. At this point I am thinking Globe Life is a scam. I will have to borrow money to pay for her funeral expenses. I wish I could go back in time and never buy this stupid policy and most of all. I wish my mother was still here with me. 2020 has been the worst year and thank you to Globe Life for making it even worse for me.
Traci, we're very sorry for the loss of your mother and we send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We'd like to investigate your mother's accidental death claim further but need you to please send us via PRIVATE response her full name and policy #. We'll have a supervisor contact you as soon as we've investigated why this claim hasn't been paid. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you during this extremely sad and difficult time. We look forward to hearing back.

My son passed in February 2020. I had 2 policies for him and one for me with this company for over 32 years. It is now Oct 26 2020 and they still have not paid out on his claim. They assigned some lady who started saying she would call me every 2 weeks with an update now she is saying she will call me once a month. They asked for information and every time I delivered the information they would wait two weeks and say they were missing information to prolong this claim.
I am 84 years old and now have my grandson handling this matter for me and he has told me the same thing when he calls they give him to the same person because only one person can work on a claim etc she never answers or responds to calls outside of the one month appointment she sets. This company needs to be shut down they take advantage of seniors and it is not right you should be ashamed of yourselves. Reading all these reviews it's ridiculous. At this rate they are waiting for me to die so they do not have to pay.

My husband and I cancelled a life insurance policy on June 23, 2020 thru their website. It never said we had to write any letters. They took out $25.02 on July 1, 2020. I requested a refund on July 7, 2020. They asked for information on July 9, 2020 which we sent on July 9, 2020. On July 10, 2020 they responded and said that My Husband need to call so he did when he got home. The lady from accounting said to send a copy of his driver's license with his signature by e-mail. We did.
Well I just received an e-mail for Globe life saying if we do not pay on our policy (the one we cancelled) they will cancel it. So I called them to find out what is going on. They said the policy is not cancelled. I said yes it was. They said that we have to write a letter. That is not what they said. I am really pissed because now they say they do not owe us money because the payment they received was applied to the policy and they kept it open. We do not want or need this policy. It was cancelled. The person I spoke to back on July 7, 2020 said it was. So WTF. My husband and I work hard for our money and to have this company fight to not give us our refund is wrong. I do have all the emails but I do not have any recording of phone calls. I wish I did. Rita & Mike **

I normally never write a review unless they are good and can add value to the company or organization. However, this has been the worse experience we have ever encountered during this time of loss. My mom took out two policies with Globe Life on my brothers to ensure they had adequate insurance coverage, especially since people was dying at an alarming rate regarding COVID-19. Unfortunately, on July 4, my older sibling passed away due to heart failure. We contacted Globe Life to inform them and they mailed out the claims form to be returned. Once we had mailed all the documents back, we were told that we would be assigned an Ambassador to review the claim and to keep us updated on the process.
Well, my mom received a callback today 9/10 from the Ambassador only to be informed that he need more time to obtain information from a hospital that does not exist. I know these reps should have a list of valid hospitals to know what exist and what doesn't. The empathy that the representatives show when grieving callers call in is horrible and so is their customer service. If the majority of the complaints this company have is around poor service, and customers claims not being worked properly, you would think they would start to put better processes in place. Legal counsel will be my next pursue if this claim is not properly processed within the next three weeks.
We're very sorry for the loss of your brother and we send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We'd like to investigate your brother's death claim further but ask if you could send us via PRIVATE response the policy holder's name, your brother's name, the policy #, your phone number, and the best time to call you.

Globe Life is very easy to apply, and I love their billing possibilities like monthly, six months or annually, I bet if you called them up they would make two month payments by phone if you want to go two months without worrying, I paid the low price of $199 for a year's worth of insurance on my wife. What a bargain!

My family had a life insurance policy on me for several years. I didn't know about it until after the death of my aunt. I was unable to transfer account...but tried to go back later and take out another policy. From start to finish I was given faulty information. Original policy was for 30k. Tried to reinstate for 30k. I went thru the whole phone calls and sign up. Was told I was approved...Only to later learn they were only going to approve me for a 5k policy. I mean... What good does that do? Nobody will tell you why. They tell you a letter will be coming in the mail to explain. It tells you nothing. I cannot believe that such a company could be counted on to actually pay at the time of death. Beware...Be Smart...Go somewhere else. Term life insurance if you are healthy is a better option than this. Customer service is horrible.

Stay away from Globe Life... I called on yesterday, Tuesday 8-25-2020, because I had questions regarding my policy and why the monthly premium payment is increase in a year and not five years... She said, "It's your anniversary date," that's something I totally never heard of.... Thank God I didn't pay my first premium. Believe me when I tell you this.... I write everything down including names of whom I spoke to.... The first woman I spoke to was totally rude, talking over me, I couldn't get a word in... I told her not to talk to me like I am a child.... When I told her I was a veteran, she laugh... She still couldn't answer the question regarding my policy and yes it totally upset me.... I mention to increase the amount, she abruptly transferred me to another rude and in a hurry woman that did not have time... I will be shredding the policy... There are much better life insurance companies with terrific customer service and globe life is not one of them.

The application was very easy and cost was very affordable to get started. That was what caught my eye. I never really thought about it until they kept sending stuff in the mail. They offer different prices and different benefit amounts which I thought was great. They didn't explain much which I thought was a bit lacking. I also noticed that other companies offered other options and additions on top of your normal benefit that they do not offer. Once I finish insurance shopping thoroughly I will probably change my company.

Updated on 10/06/2020: August 19th. I wrote a review of this company. My dad passed away Jan 4th. Been dealing with this company ever since! Now, they are needing info on a house and mortgage company that has been gone since 2013. Legal was supposed to contact me last Thursday. Nothing. Next step, Insurance Commission.
Original Review: My father died in January of 2020 after being hit by a drunk driver. He had taken out an ACCIDENTAL injury policy with this company. After submitting a death certificate, coroner's report, crash report and news articles, all saying that my father died due to an ACCIDENT, I was told today, a month after FINALLY giving them ANOTHER HIPPA form, that they have to review everything and that I would have an ambassador contact me in two more weeks. Said ambassador would start keeping me informed of the progress. The other company that my dad another policy with kept it simple and paid out within a month. Please don't leave one of these policies for your loved ones to deal with.

BUYER BEWARE if you are thinking of purchasing Globe Life Insurance for your heirs. My dad took out a policy in the early 1980's and paid his premiums faithfully for 38 years. He passed away on March 21, 2020, and the funeral home filed the claim on March 23, 2020. I also filed and sent information the following week, and heard nothing from them for about 6 weeks, until they asked for further information. I sent the information to them on May 20 with them receiving the info on May 23.
When I called on June 15, I was told me they had received the information, and had everything they needed. They said it would take 15 business days to review the information. I called on June 30, and was told they were still reviewing, and it would be 7 days yet. I called back on July 7, and was told it would take 7 business days. I called again on July 17 and was told Legal was still reviewing the file.
Today is July 23, and they are still reviewing the file, and I'm told now, once it is in Legal review there are no time lines, as they can take as long as they want once Legal starts reviewing the file. I have no idea when or if I will receive the proceeds from the policy that my father paid religiously for 38 years. They will not tell me if there is more information they need or what the hold is on the policy. The funeral home that took care of my Father's last wishes filed this, and sent paperwork in, including a Death Certificate, and then Globe also asked me to send in the same information, so I have sent them two (2) death certificates that I purchased along with all the other information they requested. Again, BUYER BEWARE if you are thinking of purchasing Globe Life Insurance for your heirs.

I filed a claim the first week in April, I have sent all requested documentation and medical records.. I have spent hours on the phone with records retention departments to obtain the records..

The last time we spoke she stated all the records had been received and forwarded to review, no timeline given for processing time..

Not much I can say other than I would NEVER EVER take a policy with this company. After applying, I was contacted twice with follow up questions and promised a letter within 7-10 days. Of course, I never received a letter. I had to call back, and then told that they could not access the policy but would check on it and return my call within one or two days. Again no contact. I waited another week and called again, this time told the policy had been canceled due to a lack of response. I asked her if it noted the two times I had responded, and it did. She told me they may reach out up to 10 times while I informed her I had no other messages from the company to return their calls. She said, "This policy is canceled, if you'd like you can submit a new application". I told her with the way they handle there 'follow-up' I would never do business with them. If I handled my customers like that, I would expect to be out of business.

For 33 years my Father paid on time. He surrendered his policy March 2020. They claimed they sent his check of $3341.75 that week. In April we called about the check not being received. They said they have to wait 30 days to cut another check. In May we called again; same excuse to wait another 30 days. This is a pattern to see if you give up trying to get your money. They claim the check was sent and you always have to wait 30 days to get a new check cut. Only the following month you still don't have it. We volunteered to drive the 3 hours to McKinney TX to get our check. They said this is not allowed. Somehow it takes over 90 days to get a check from a town 3 hrs away. This is a bad company.

I just applied for a term life insurance and spoke with two representatives. I was told I would get policy in mail in 7-10 days. The policy never arrived. What I got in the mail was a letter stating they were unable to contact me by phone. Which was odd since I spoke with two different individuals. So I sent Globe Life an email and once again, I never received a response. I called the number listed in the letter only to be told to WRITE a letter to underwriting department. The representative alleges underwriting didn't have a phone number. I should have know this company was not legitimate because when my mother died nearly 20 years ago, I had to file a complaint with Maryland Insurance Commissioner to get them to pay the claim.

For several months now I have been trying to call Customer service and after punching all the correct numbers it says invalid request. I have sent several emails to customer service. The first one I gave the policy number and insured’s name (it is a policy on our daughter who is now 41) and my husband's name. They wanted her date of birth and the mailing address. I sent this and received another email that stated that I was the owner and had to contact them. I tried to call customer service again and was transferred to 3 different people. The second one said my daughter was the owner of the policy and she would have to call them. I asked if they could send a surrender form that she could sign and have notarized because calling them was a nightmare. He said he would have to transfer me to someone else.
Someone finally came on the line and said I understand you want to reinstate this policy. I said, "No I want to surrender it". She hung up. I feel like they are doing everything they can to not cancel this policy and send us the cash value. We received a letter a couple of months ago that is has a cash value of $746.33.

My mother died in the hospital while being rushed to be released. Her name was Judith **. She wanted to give her only surviving son of 3 boys Michael **, a financial means to create something good for himself. Globe Life chose not to honor their policy. They said she wasn't fully approved and refunded approximately $750. Which means she had the policy for 3 years roughly and because my mother was financially destitute her choice in payments would have been $20 a month. How on earth is it possible to pay for 3 years and not be approved?! Insurance adjusters I understand are offered incentives to not pay claims. I cant afford what it would take to get a lawyer to honor my mother's last wishes. :(

I bought Globe Life Insurance for my two boys when they were very little. I thought that they could just roll it over after they became adults and continue working. First problem I countered after I paid on this for over 20 years, was that after they became 21, I could not access any information about these accounts. When they were about 24 and 25, they did not want to keep these accounts up so I decided to discontinue paying for them. Well then I find out there’s no cash value at all with globe life. So pretty much the money I gave to them for over 20 years, was just that, I gave it to them. If you’re looking for a company that offers cash value then go to another company.
Loretta, please accept our sincere apology that your experience with Globe Life didn't meet your expectations. We'd like to look further into your situation.

Globe Life Insurance company is unorganized, unapologetic and unethical to say the least! There was a point in time that, I utilized this company for an life insurance policy for both my son and myself! However I was told that they wouldn’t be able to honor anyone that has blood pressure issues! Keep in mind that I was told this, after I’ve made several payments through these guys. Seems like they would’ve informed me about this prior to me signing up with them! There’s more. Not only did they screw me, they also made an error with my son’s policy! Somehow they listed my son’s birthday under a totally different year! Like really Globe life...Get it together seriously!

Updated on 03/31/2020: My issues with Globe Life remain unresolved. They asked for our policy numbers to investigate the matter. I sent that via through here on the 23 or 24th of this month. A customer service representative was supposed to contact me within 24 hours via email, that did not happen. They are supposed to automatically withdraw payment from our account for BOTH policies. They continue NOT doing that.
Original: My husband and I wanted life insurance. We filled out online applications, we filled out a multitude of paper applications at their request. My husband was sent several email requests for a phone interview to which he responded to many times. We also requested automated bill pay. We didn't get the plans we requested, they never took out payments for my policy and for some unknown reason have switched from automated bill pay to mailing statements on my husband's policy and they dropped me. I'm regretting our decision to switch from AAA to Globe Life. We are now without any life insurance as a result of their sloppiness.

I have been trying to cancel my policy for months now. I was told I would be sent a letter to sign to "surrender" the policy and it never arrived. I have made calls where I have experienced less than stellar customer service. I just now hung up a call after the "surrendering" department kept claiming to not hear me, after just speaking with a representative, who transferred me to the "surrendering" department, just fine.
My grandparents took out this policy for me when I was younger, and was misinformed on what they could provide. I am no longer in need of this policy but since becoming the age where I am now the policyholder, it has been a NIGHTMARE to cancel. My poor grandmother cannot keep paying for a policy that I do not need. She is now being told she is late on a payment that we never agreed to pay for! We have been trying to cancel for MONTHS!

I filled out an online application on 2/12/2020. I then get another application in the mail on 2/22/2020, asking me to fill out the same information and send back. I proceeded to call the customer service and someone that could barely speak English took my call. My question was, since I applied online do I still have to mail-in the application that I just received. The representative asked for my name and for me to verify my mailing address, he then asked me did I use a Mastercard or VISA card for the initial application to pay the first month premium. I told him it was a Visa card, he then ask me to verify the information one more time but he will put me on a brief hold, come back and ask me those same questions. When he did come back to ask me those same questions he first asked me to spell out my first-name, which I did. He then asked me for my mailing address one more time, which I gave him again.
After each question, the phone beeped, you can tell that I was being recorded. He then asked me to give him the 16 digit number of my debit card, as well as the expiration date, and the CVV code on the back. I told him that I did not feel comfortable giving him my full number, but I will be happy to provide him with the last four digits to verify. He then told me that I needed to do this in order for him to verify I am who I say I was. I ended up disconnecting the call because I did not want to give my full debit card number to him knowing that I was being recorded. If this is a scam I really would like to know how I can get my money back, because I can't get any answers from the customer service number that I called, and if anybody knows the number please respond to this and provide that to me if you don't mind.

BUT, today I was told the entire amount of loan has to be paid, not just interest. I explained I'm 85 on Social Security and have paid Globe Life every month since 1993.

Globe Life Insurance. Globe Life Insurance has provided great service. --There was an issue that was resolved-- Possible improvement: The descriptions for increasing a policy amount could be communicated in a more precise manner. The situation: I contacted a department of insurance because of the importance the policies are for my records. I described the importance of my records when communicating with the department of insurance and Globe Life Insurance. Resolution Time Frame: Globe Life Insurance worked on the issue after I contacted an associate from the organization. The issue was resolved without causing huge difficulties.
Experience: Some organizations consistently provide great service. In business relationships, if there is an issue that does not seem to be distinguishable as the regular customer-specific or regular client-specific experience, many sentiments could be experienced. An emphasis on customer service may be important for a variety of organizations. The culture and values of the organization may impact customer and client expectations. While the issue was resolved, a statement of commendation could be useful within the organization. I appreciate the great service in connection with the regular work of Globe Life Insurance.

Her name is Wilma and she asked a ton of questions including getting all of the info on medications we are on. She told me repeatedly to keep going with the medication list and she would stop me if she had a question, just over and over again but she did not have a problem making me wait. I was on the phone for quite sometime with her when I finally RE told her about my husband's health condition and she completely cut me off and stopped everything and said, "Our underwriters will be in touch."
Although my husband's condition is very rare, he’s not on any treatment and we were informed it’s highly unlikely he will ever need treatment. I tried to explain this to her and she rudely sighed and said “that won’t be necessary!” Thank God I continued looking to find a much better insurance company with a very respectful agent!

My dad went in the hospital on March 15th because he had falling at home and was disoriented when he arrived at the hospital (per doctors notes). He ended up having a bad stroke and it affected his brain which caused his health to fail. Before my dad went to the hospital on March 15th, my cousin called this insurance company and they allowed her to change the policy from my name to hers while my dad was under medication.

The money that was received from the insurance policy suppose to brought my dads headstone for his plot and that didn't happen. It's been almost a year now and my dad name is still not on his grave. I call this insurance company and fought all I could and they would not reverse the policy and now my dad can't even have a proper burial. My cousin took the money and used it for her own good. I am very upset with this insurance company that they allowed this to happen. I can't believe that a insurance company would allow someone to call in and just make changes without the proper paperwork been done or notarized. That could have been anyone that called in and made these changes. I even had proof from the Emergency room that my dad was disoriented when he arrived.

Globe Life requested my information which I provided and someone contacted me repeating the same old defensive information. I’ve told you all that I do not have the medical information you’re asking for, I haven’t seen any results of your so-called investigation that your fine print said you would conduct.

I AM NOT GOING AWAY.
Original Review: I obtained a small $20,000 term life policy from Globe Life for my mom in October of 2017 to help with burial, since her mom and dad passed in their late 80’s and early 90’s, after receiving the marketing from Globe Life that you’re covered once your 1st payment is received. On May 5, 2018 my mom passed away overseas in Aruba, so I called Globe Life to inform them and they gave me the directions to file a claim. I obtained the death certificate which was in Dutch, so I paid for an additional one translated in English, filed the claim with both original death certificates plus the funeral home receipts and copy of her social security, since she died overseas.
To this date, Globe Life has not paid anything. The claim is still pending. I have exchanged a few letters with Globe Life, but they are requesting my mother’s medical records which I do not have. I finally found our old doctor who did our physicals, but he has been with several companies lately and does not have any records of either of us. If I knew about this 2 year contested period, I would have never signed up with Globe Life. Furthermore, they will not return my premium payments either. Since then I always read company reviews. They are very important.

However, an executor of estate document is not necessary in Michigan when I am the named beneficiary.

My mom purchased a $20,000 policy in 10/2017. She was dx with colon/rectal cancer a year later. She died 9/27/2019, which makes her 13 days shy of her 2 yr contestable period. So of course Globe Life wanted to investigate her medical history, this process has been extremely tough. I was given a contact person named Victor whom I didn't think cared that I lost my mom. It was business as usual for him. I asked that he not call me again, I was later assigned a new contact person “Latrice” I think....never heard a word, from her.
I called this week to check the status because the funeral home called me for payment and I was told I could not get any information from them that I was mailed some correspondence. I asked had the policy been denied she said, "Ma'am like I said you will receive some correspondence in the mail!" I think that is the craziest thing ever. If I need to start paying for my mother's burial they should let me know something! So irritating in such a horrible time! The holidays are already hard to deal with and now this! I don't have any money for a funeral.

My ex-husband left me as beneficiary to his life insurance policy. I am no longer his next of kin. He passed away September 17, 2019. I have now had three different life insurance representatives. I was paid part of the life insurance. The rest I was told would be investigated. My new representative Victor first last week told me to call the hospital and see if I could receive my ex-husband's medical records. Due to HIPAA laws I am unable to do so and a Life Insurance Representative should already know that. Today we spoke again he is sending paperwork for my ex-husband's mother to sign a release for medical records.
Victor told me if she refused to sign the records that I would not receive the rest of the insurance policy. Nowhere in the policy does it state that his mother would be required to do this. The death certificate I provided plainly says what he passed away from. I am unhappy with Victor and I want Globe Life to fix this issue. It is not my fault that HIPAA laws say I can not receive the medical records. If anyone from Globe life would reach me that would be great. My name is Rebecca ** and my phone is +**. I would like this issue revolved.

I’ve been locked out of my online Globe Life account after 3 solid years of monthly payments. I’ve never had a problem with this before this month, December 2019. I made a payment online on December 3rd, 2019 and I didn’t receive a confirmation email like I usually do. I went to check my Globe Life account online and found that I had been locked out of it. When I enter my credentials it says the email and password doesn’t match the account. So I waited a couple of days and called customer service to see if they had received my payment and they said they didn’t have it recorded as being paid, and it hadn’t cleared the bank yet either, so I thought maybe I put the card number in wrong, so I paid it again on the telephone on December 5th and I still haven’t received a confirmation email about that payment either.
So I called them back today, December 9th 2019 and was told that they can’t help me with being locked out of my online account, and that I would have to submit a ticket to get help with tech support. I had already submitted a ticket on Friday, so they told me I should hear something from them today, but that didn’t happen. So I’ve submitted another ticket and I’m still waiting to hear something.
I can’t believe that a company the size of Globe Life Insurance doesn’t have a tech support number you can call. And where are the payments I’ve made? They don’t have a record of me even paying them over the phone. You would think that customer service would put it in the notes that I made an online payment as well as a payment over the phone, but there was nothing in the notes. And the service representative was apologetic, but couldn’t do anything for me. That’s just weird. Have they been hacked!? It’s not unheard of for a large company like this to be hacked. Or have they decided that since I’ve made payments for more than the 2 year period it takes to actually file a claim, that they are done with me? I need answers people!!
Beverly, please accept our sincere apology for this payment and account issue. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for Globe Life and we're sorry your experience didn't reflect that. Please send us a PRIVATE Consumer Affairs response with your full name, policy number, phone number and the best time to contact you and we'll have a supervisor reach out to you for a resolution ASAP.

I was sent information on a mortgage protection policy from another carrier, but they never replied back. I tried Globe asking for a mortgage protection policy with a 1st to die clause, so whichever of us were to die first the insurance from our policy would then cover the mortgage for the second. I was sent a policy which talks about the importance of mortgage protection, since I already knew that and asked for the policy I did not pay close attention and halfway through the policy it begins talking about accidental death and dismemberment instead.
We signed up anxious to get our policy and thinking we would then also get a quote and an explanation of our policy to be sure it was what we wanted. Instead, we received and AD&D policy and a month's premium for the policy was automatically deducted! When I called into the Globe Carrier to cancel the policy that was another hassle. I was told that I could not cancel the policy as the policy was my husband's only. We had signed up together for mortgage protection, so I should have been on the policy. This was exacerbated because my husband was just out of the hospital from surgery and did not want to talk to anyone, he wanted to rest and recover. I went online and canceled the policy, but that did not give us the policy we wanted, nor did it return the premium for the policy we did not want. It certainly used to be you had a right to cancel for 30 days after receiving your policy no questions asked.
I WOULD NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS CARRIER, THEY SEEM SNEAKY AND DISHONEST IN THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS. It is underhanded to start a conversation even in written material talking about one kind of policy and then pull the old bait and switch and send a different policy altogether. There are plenty of other more honest carriers to chose from, use one of them, don't risk an automatic withdrawal, or that you will be paying and receiving something other than what you wanted.
Kara, we are very sorry to learn of your experience and take claims of this nature very seriously.

I bought Globe Life when my first granddaughter was born 23 years ago. I added 3 more policies for 3 more grandchildren. Every year when my policies came due they pushed for more coverage. The last 2 years they started billing me every six months. The second billing was for more coverage but the bill said in big red letters THIS IS YOUR BILL. In fact it was just another push.

Updated on 12/13/2019: If the system would allow me to rate below one star, I would. Please see my previous review to better explain. I did receive a response from a customer care representative who asked for a good time to contact me in response to this issue. Needless to say, I provided two different days and no one contacted me during those days. Since then, I have contacted Globe Life numerous times. Today, I spoke with an Alasia who transferred me to a member of her management team, Desiree ** (I believe). Instead of reviewing said notes, I had to again state my loan request issue dating back to September. Now, I am being told, no change of ownership is listed on file. This is not true, as all other Globe representatives returned to phone after looking for said form and stated, "Yes you are correct. We have the form from 2011."
Today, I received a letter from Globe Life stating my policy loan is now fully paid. But there is a balance due consisting of accrued interest. WTH... I never deposited a loan check to accrue interest. The incorrect check which was sent to my attention was returned on November 5, 2019. I have tried to be very patient in this matter. Unfortunately, Ms. ** was not the proper person I should have been speaking with as she continued to make this out to be my issue and not Globe Life's. Can someone please contact me from this company as I have now spoken to the following members regarding this issue: Desiree, Alasia, Tierra, Kelsie, Amerie, Chris, Jenny, Stephanie, and Rachel. Unfortunately, Ms. Desiree ** is now stating that all nine team members were incorrect in speaking with me as SHE cannot locate an ownership form on file even though all nine members were able to do so. Thank you. Lorie
Original Review: Many years ago I purchased a policy when my son (now 30 years of age) was very small. Upon turning 21 we elected to keep his mom as the owner of policy since he was not yet responsible for payments. This past October 2019, I decided to borrow the cash value for an emergency. Upon contacting Globe, was informed loan value amount was over $850.00. I requested $850.00. On 10-04-2019, the check I received was for an incorrect amount and was made payable to the insured instead of the owner. I have contacted Globe Life a little over 9x's to try to rectify this issue. The first week their systems were down and could not provide any assistance.
Afterwards, have spoken with several members of Globe including Supervisors/Managers who would only state, they would call you back but never do. I was able to reach a team member who instructed me to return check (to accounting team) along with a short letter. Said letter and check was sent on November 5, 2019. As per November 25, 2019 check is not showing as received. Spoke again with a member of their management team who stated would call me within 2 days and place stop payment on said check.
Well, today is December 2nd and to date, no phone calls from Globe. Actually, I have now been on hold for approximately 20 minutes and no response. I pray I never need to use this policy for a death benefit as I am now worried purchasing this policy was a waste of my time and premiums. This process of requesting a loan has now taken almost 60 days due to an error on Globe Life's part, not mine. I am glad I also had enough sense to purchase a policy from Gerber Life too. I have never received the level of poor customer service with Gerber Life as I am witnessing with Globe Life. Just spoke with a team member. The check was supposedly received by Globe Life on November 25th, the same day I last spoke with a supervisor. Was informed I would now have to wait another 25 days approximately. This is utterly and totally ridiculous. Thank you.

I was so sad and grief stricken and stressed out losing my love one my baby. The insurance company had to go through the process of finding out what had tragically happened to my Love One my Baby. After finding out what happened to my love one just a bit over 90 days the insurance company paid 100% in the Mail. I just cried like a baby because it was just so sad and painful.

Really Bad Experience. My Mother has been paying monthly for a burial policy for me since I was 21. I am now a 66 year old woman trying to surrender this policy and Globe is the worst company customer service I have ever experienced. This is now Nov 20, 2019 and I have no cash or any communication updating me on the status of my policy. I received a letter from Globe asking if I wanted to surrender this policy for cash - I did. On Oct 18, 2019 I emailed them as instructed: my mother's death certificate, my birth certificate and a handwritten letter with my signature requesting my money. I received an email from Globe saying they had received these documents and to call their number to surrender. When I called the gentleman told me it takes time to scan in my documents and to wait 10 days. I did.
For over a business week I was told that their computers were down and they could not check the status. Yesterday after requesting a manager I was told the check was mailed on the 28th of October regular mail (that would be 24 days ago!) without so much as an email to tell me it was coming. Now they say it was lost in the mail and I have to wait 30 days to reissue. When they say these policies will save money for your child's future they are optimistic. I would say only if your child has weeks and weeks to try and cash it in and Good Luck.

My experience with Globe Life hasn't been good. My son purchased a policy in 2016 for life insurance and accidental death. Unfortunately he was murdered 8/2019. He was driving in his car and a bullet hit the back of his head. I have experienced nothing but heartache from this company. After sending in months worth of paperwork (death cert, police rep, dr. report, coroner rep, etc.) my claim still isn't settled fully. I did receive the first check after 3 months and the Riders portion for accidental death is still not paid.
The claims reps have been unprofessional, they have you on hold a long time, they have attitudes and are very unknowledgeable. I received letters from Globe Life with no contact person. I sent in all of the paperwork and now I'm being told letters are going to the police and coroner for more info. The paperwork clearly says homicide by gunshot wound. There are even articles on the internet about what happened. I'm just disappointed in the service. I feel like I have to fight for my son's insurance money that should be rightfully awarded. An acceleration analyst was recently assigned to my case so we will see how that goes.

My brother passed on Aug 5, 2019. I gathered all the necessary paperwork and submitted a letter with the documents to Globe on Sept 14, 2019. Today is Oct 28, 2019 and I still haven't heard a word. I could understand the time lapse except for the fact that I can't get anyone to answer the phone. Each number that is posted for them -- NOT EVEN A DIAL TONE! ---- (1) 1-972-540-6542 (which is the number in his policy); (2) 1-888-650-4081 (on globelifeinsurance.com - "How do I check the status of a claim?"), (3) 1-800-742-6787 (globelifeinsurance.com - Top of screen); (4) 1-877-577-3860 (globelifeinsurance.com - customer service # at bottom of screen).

I did not get a bill in September; did get a late notice in October. I called them after I paid it... After at least 3 tries, I spoke to a human who said they hadn't received the payment; so I paid again by credit card. Got another late notice today; and called my cc company - bill was paid.

Globe Life resolved this issue. The last couple days I've had email correspondence with the Globe Life team and they have been very helpful trying to figure out what happened. I wish the communication was better between this business and their consumers. We really need to work on that in the future. It shouldn't have to take consumers to write a bad review to get answers. All I asked is for someone to call me and explain to me, what was going on. I never would have written a bad review if I got a response back from them. I've been a loyal globe life consumer since 2006.

My name is Wenndie ** and this is my 1st time ever having to write a bad review for GLOBE LIFE. I have other policies with this company and in the past everything has went smoothly up until now. I'm the owner and beneficiary to a policy I took out on my brother in 2007. My brother passed away on 9/16/2019, We filed a death claim on 9/20/2019 and buried my brother on 9/28/2019. Here it is 10/18/2019 and still no word from GLOBE LIFE. The status of the claim is STILL PENDING. I have emailed, I have called this company. I've even tried to reach out to them through their Facebook social media page. No response from them so far which prompted me to contact the Better Business Bureau and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to investigate this issue.
Like I stated above I took out this term policy in 2007 and paid premiums up until the untimely death of my brother. Our family just want what is owed and due to us. We're already going through an emotional and stressful time, and this adds on to our stress. Not contacting us is so unprofessional on all levels. Hopefully this matter gets resolved quickly. I'm not happy at how this company does business and now I regret even having other policies with GLOBE. They will help you when it's regarding your premium payments but when death occurs they will delay your death benefit claims without even returning your faxes, emails or phone calls. Please do better by your consumers. If we honor our part of the contract by paying monthly premiums on time, GLOBE LIFE need to honor their part of the contract as well by paying out the death benefits owed to families.
Wenndie, we're very sorry for the loss of your brother and send our sincere condolences to you and your family.

Thankfully, we don't need to cash the policy but trying to change info has been extremely painful. EVERY SINGLE TIME I call, I get told something different. Thankfully, with my good note-taking, I have a solid record of what is NOT happening when it should. I have made changes to the policy all year long but today I was told I cannot make any updates as they did not approve my POA that was mailed in the same day as my husband’s was. I was told by two different sources it was not even received yet when I get to a "manager" they did receive it. I have sent LEGAL documents over TWICE now and then told they didn't receive them. That is scary!!!
What is also scary is after having this policy for over 30+ yrs, is it even a good policy when (God forbids) we need to use it? The customer service is EXTREMELY inconsistent! EXTREMELY!!!!

I was shopping around for life insurance. I got partway through a quote for Globe Life. When I saw some of the numbers I decided I wasn’t interested and closed out of my session. I have received dozens of mailings since then, often multiple letters and packets in the same day’s mail. These mailings all look different, from large envelopes to smaller business size envelope, from a few pages to entire packets. It’s just a massive amount of wasted paper. I find it too poor business practice to harass people constantly to try to sell a product. If someone is not responding to the first few attempts, then scale back a bit.
Switch to once a month or something. Don’t send 15 letters in a month in the hopes that maybe I didn’t get the 20 letters from the previous month. I understand that advertisement is part of running a business, but the lack of concern for our planet’s natural, finite resources is a big deal to me. Globe Life wastes paper like it’s going out of style, and it is really going out of style. If you’re going to spam me, do it via email like everyone else so I can unsubscribe without having to call and beg someone to take me off the mailing list.

Updated on 08/14/2019: On 8-5-2019, I filed a review with Consumer Affairs that Globe Life Insurance modified a policy that they issued to me on 8-1-2019 with a higher monthly premium than quoted. It is my understanding that Underwriting modified the policy as a result of information provided to them from an unknown source concerning my health. As part of my rights, because of this adverse underwriting decision, I was informed that I could submit a written request for access to my personal information to determine the source of this information and the specifics of the information provided to Globe. I have requested this information in this Consumer Affairs review; but, was informed that Underwriting does not respond in this forum but will do so via email.
On 8-9-2019, Marketing informed that they would forward my concerns to the appropriate dept/manager who would correspond with me via email. I provided my email address and am still waiting for a response. If Underwriting has information regarding my health that resulted in an adverse underwriting decision, what is taking so long to inform me? Can you imagine how it makes me feel to know that there is erroneous information circulating about me and I can't defend myself against it?
This is exactly why I used Consumer Affairs to review this company...for fear of getting the Run-Around. It appears that is what is happening....and it is NOT FAIR to me as the consumer. Even a response stating that you're working on it would suffice. I haven't even received that. I feel disrespected and vulnerable to an unknown lie about me. Idessa **
Original Review: I received written correspondence from Globe Life regarding Monthly Premium Rates for Women (and Men). I am a woman. I currently have a life insurance policy but the rates Globe Life presented appealed to me because the rates better suited my monetary budget. I called Representatives at Globe Life @ 1-877-723-7014 who completed an application via phone. The Representative verbally confirmed that the brochure I received indicating that the monthly premium for a 68 year old woman in the amount of $20,000.00 would be $49.58 until age 71. The Representative assured that the policy would be effective immediately....with no waiting period.
A few days later, I received another call from Globe Life asking additional questions about my health; although the written brochure stated that "There are no medical exams required". I reported the ONE medical condition for which I have been diagnosed and the names of the only TWO prescribed medications. I was informed that the application would be forwarded to Underwriting and it should be determined if a policy would be approved in another week. This was very important to me because I wanted to have enough time to cancel my current policy with a different carrier before the monthly electronic withdrawal of funds from my bank.
On or about 8-3-2019, I called Globe and was informed that a policy had been issued for me on 8-1-2019. I was NOT pleased to learn that my monthly premium would be $69.59 monthly instead of $49.58 as stated in Globe's brochure and from the Representative who verbally stated it via phone during the application process. This $20.01 increase in stated monthly premium (at this time) makes a difference to me financially. I called Globe again to make inquiries regarding this increase in monthly premium and I was told that Underwriting made that decision and I needed to contact them. I was provided the following address to contact Underwriting to voice my concerns: P.O. Box 2440, McKinney, Texas 75070.
Since this is a newly issued policy, instead of contacting Underwriting, I chose to show my displeasure by contacting Consumer Affairs for two reasons: 1. To alert other potential customers to Globe Life that what is written in their brochure and what you are told verbally by representatives may not result in the same premium amount after the policy is issued and 2. I am hopeful that my concerns will be addressed sooner in this forum than by writing a letter to Underwriting that may result in a "run around". Finally, if an acceptable explanation can not be provided by Globe as to why the premiums were increased, I do not want this policy and will not pay the first monthly premium that will be due on September 1, 2019. (The Representative informed that the first month of having the policy is only $1.00) Anxiously Awaiting a Resolution, Mrs. Idessa **

She gave no further explanation except there are many steps to complete. I asked how long before it's really completed and was told they have no certain amount of time to complete it (which is a lie). Missouri gives 30 days.

My son and I were looking for a decent priced life insurance. In February of 2019 we selected Globe Life. Paid premiums, received our actual policy in March 2019. May 2019 my son was tragically killed in an accident. I have submitted the claim. Was told by representative that because policy was just 2 months old further investigation was required. I sent all required documents. Was then told they needed to get last 5 years of medical records. No time frame given for this as well as I advised my son didn't have primary doctor. So where are they getting these records from.
Meanwhile I have funeral expenses that have to be paid. I am sorry that my son was killed just two months into policy. It was something I never dreamed of and he most certainly did not choose this. It angers me that companies tell you someone is covered immediately. But yet at a very difficult time such as death they give you the runaround on paying out on a policy. My son trusted in them, so far they have let him down. I have never had such a delayed experience with a life insurance policy before. None of us know the time or hour of our deaths. We try to be responsible and make it easier for our families after our deaths. So how dare a company put those that are grieving to go through such anguish.

Be sure to get a copy of your rider for accident insurance before you take out this insurance because it does expire and you lose all your money that you paid into it once it expires. Mine expired. I got it in 2009 and it expired April 11, 2019 so all the money I’ve paid into it I lost it. So if you haven’t had an accidental death before it expires your family gets nothing once it expires. Read the small print on your rider. They don’t disclose this to you when you take this coverage so please ask questions before you take out that accidental insurance coverage because it does expire at a certain date. I lost $660. Also their customer service is horrible on the phone. The people who answered the phone are not too knowledgeable about this insurance so they couldn’t give any clear answers.

The marketing material for Globe Life makes it appear easy to get insurance for a great price. The application process is seamless, and gives you the impression that the price quoted will be locked in for the entire term. You also are agreeing to have payments drafted directly from your account IF your application is approved. The problem is, when your application does get approved, you find out that the price quoted is only for 5 years and that the price will increase substantially each 5 year period until the complete term is up. If you decide not to keep the policy after finding this out, good luck with trying to cancel. There is no information on how to cancel the policy when you get the acceptance information.
There is no option to cancel on the website after you set up online access, and there is also no option to cancel in the list of options when you call in. I called and spoke to a representative under the "change policy" option (after a wait time of roughly 24 minutes), and she said that the policy was going to be canceled, but that I would have to wait 10 business days to get a verification via mail. In the meantime, a payment was scheduled to draft, so I would have no way to be sure that a payment wouldn't be drafted from my account. In summary, the initial pricing will reel you in, but when you get the policy and the price changes, you will have little help canceling the policy. I would not recommend this insurance company, and warn those older, technologically challenged people that they should steer clear. Otherwise, their account will be subject to payments they did not agree to.

I would strongly recommend people reconsider doing business with this life insurance company. My father was the beneficiary on a child's life insurance policy and when he died, I tried for a year to get them to change the beneficiary. They refused, claiming each time they didn't have the right paperwork that I twice sent by email and once by postal mail. Then they started calling for overdue premium payments. By then I had decided to just let the policy lapse since the beneficiary was deceased and I wasn't getting any resolution. The mailings and calls did not stop until a mentally ill sibling one day answered the phone and believed bad things would happen if the premium wasn't paid. The results of that call were disastrous for our family (The agent on the phone wouldn't have known my sister was suicidal, but they would know she was not involved in the policy in any manner).
It's been a year and the issue isn't resolved. Each time I email or call, I get the same canned response. My case may be an exception, but given the company routinely deals with people in very difficult situations, I would have expected much better customer service. And, given they are in a heavily regulated industry, I am shocked at their poor data retention/security practices. I rarely write reviews because everyone's situation differs, but I hope to prevent someone else undergoing hardship from having to go through what my family has as a direct result of Globe Insurance's business practices.

I contacted Globe in Mid-October to see what they needed to close the policies. They said they needed a letter verifying that we were changing the policies over to another company.
My insurance company mailed the letters on 10/31. 6 weeks later I was still getting bills in the mail for the payments that were due in November. I should not have been receiving any bills. I spent an entire day - really I was at work, trying to reach someone who was not a ** on the phone, nasty or just plain rude. I was hung up on 9 times after being on hold for over 30 minutes. I finally reached a supervisor who would not give me any information on my sons' policies because apparently they were the owners of the policy even though they are getting the payment from me and my name is on the policy.
I then emailed letters to them verifying that my sons want the policies closed. 2 weeks later bills again in the mail. My new agent's office called Globe to state they had mailed the letters and verify that they received them. They did not have the letters from 10/31. Once again I was on the phone going through people like paper towels. Rude, **, snippy and nasty.
Finally I reached someone I could email the letters to. I emailed them and they assured me the policies would be closed! Ok we are now at 12/21 almost 60 days. A week later bills in my email and bills in my mailbox. My new insurance company corporate office called Globe, they wanted to know why the letters were not be accepted. Globe stated in order to close the policies they wanted the final payment in order to send us a reimbursement? What? WTF does that mean. They do not make any sense!
So I emailed every day until I received a phone call on 1/5 from a supervisor, mind you this is a Saturday, she would not talk to me because I did not have my policy number. I was in Milwaukee for the weekend. I have since called her 6 times and left voice mails, no return call as of today. She wanted to talk directly to my sons, they were in Chicago at a funeral. It took her 4 days to call them back. She would not close the policies without talking directly to them. I have since filed a complaint with the insurance bureau of Colorado.

This company doesn't deserve a star based on my recent experience. I have had a policy on each of my sons since 2015 with Globe Life. I recently noticed strange messages on one of the two accounts, so I gave them a call. One representative told me payments that I've been making have not been processed because I was making payments too quickly--really?? I make payments monthly and sometimes I make a 3 month payment via the app. Nevertheless, both accounts are current according to my bank statements. I receive confirmation notices from Globe Life and notice the payments documented on my bank statements for both policies. Most recently, one policy has gone into an inactive status while the other policy is in a paid to date status. I noticed last week that a message of "premium paying back" was attached to the status of one of the policies.
This is ridiculous and so I called to find out what does the "premium paying back" mean. I got a seriously, clouded response about payments taking 5-7 days to process, I'm making payments too quickly, etc. I was told to wait for the payment status to update. I checked again today to see what was going on with the payment status for both policies. I got a different representative this week and listening to my explanation, the representative giggled at my frustration with the inaccurate information and poor service I've recently experienced.
When I comment to her that this is nothing to giggle about; what if my son (family) were to suddenly need this coverage and the policy is erroneously in an inactive status which would leave us confused on top of devastated. She gave what I perceived to be a weak apology for her lack of professionalism. When I told them I sense a scam, her giggles went to professional mode. Now they have been giving both policies attention. One hour after hanging up with the representative and pulling out 6 months worth of bank statements to send to the accounting department, I see that payment due dates and the status of one policy has changed. From last week to today, one of my policies went from current to inactive.
Why on earth would I pay one policy and not the other? On top of that, I was told last week that I didn't have the type of policies that would allow my sons to take out a loan because they would never have cash value, nor could the policies be transferred from whole to term life. Less than 5 days later, I'm being told the cash value to date for each policy and given an explanation about the maximum loan amount that could be requested if needed. Ridiculous that I've had the policies on my sons for about three years and the only cash value thus far is less than $200. I am seeking to dissolve these policies and go elsewhere. I am bothered because these folks have my bank account information for purpose of making payments. I wish I had found this website and reviews years ago before dealing with this mess. It took me several years before I actually checked in to Globe Life--should have followed my first mind.

Tried to make a payment online, but system didn't respond. Called Customer Dis-Service but they don't work on weekends. Very odd business policy - they don't want your money unless you contact them during the week...

I contacted Globe Life about whole life insurance for the amount of $30,000. Everything went well until I was asked if I was mentally or physically disabled. I said yes to one of the questions. I get a call about a week later from the underwriter going in depth about my disability (Which is a mild one). I understand from research that there are some questions they are not allowed to ask. I was very honest. I had not heard anything for a couple of weeks so I called. Yes I have been approved but for only $5,000 not $30,000. Of course they know they can't discriminate on disability so they give me the lowest amount which we know does not even begin to pay for funeral expenses. You try to be honest and this is what happens. I asked why such a low amount and I was told I would have to put that in writing to the company to find out. Do not believe no discrimination, no health questions, or fairness with this company. I'm a good example of that lie.

I signed up for 250,000 in term life and another 250,000 accidental death policy. because they could not find anything medically wrong with me they chose to deny my application... I contacted them to find out why I have not received my policy nor has any payment been processed, at that time they informed me that underwriting had denied my application for the above reasons. People get coverage for obvious reasons, for a company to deny your application and not contact you by email phone or mail and inform you of the decision is absolutely absurd. I thought this company was a good company but boy was I wrong!
