    Biggest scam. No one tries to help you, no one can answer your questions. They hide behind policies that are not even designed to help the customer in any way. And they are making a lot of money doing it obviously. Save yourself a huge headache and running in circles, and find another insurance provider.

      Terrible company. Pick another company. My mom died about 13 months ago. I called because my dad told me she had a policy and I was getting letters in the mail from MetLife that I needed to fill out a form. Called MetLife and they told me she had no benefits. About 9 months I later started receiving letters from MetLife again that $1000 was owed to myself and my sister. Finally got the form and filled it out. On the form it said you could submit the form two ways - one way was mail and the other was on their website. I submitted through the website. No response.

      Just got a certified letter asking me to fill out the form (of course no form was included). Called MetLife for the 7th time now and they said they cannot accept an electronic signature. Then why did they have me e-sign on their own website? I asked for a manager to call me back - no response! If you are trying to setup something for your kids find another company. You can even search it online how they hold funds and have lost some major lawsuits.

      Customer service representatives are very nice. However it all comes comes down to how fast they process claims. Their online system, email and fax do not work. Send your claims certified mail.

      This company and their customer service are terrible! I have been waiting for a life insurance payout for my father for over 8 weeks now. I've called customer service 7 times and no one knows what is going on and they don't seem to have a record of my calls even though they are all recorded. I've sent paperwork in 4 times and they claim they've never received it. How is that even possible?? How are people supposed to pay end of life bills when they can't get paid? I work for an insurance company who pays out claims in 5 days not 3 months+. And gives the run around every time you call. I'm starting to think I will never get the funds needed to pay the bills.

      This is a terrible company. I signed up for short and long term disability with my employer. I had a stroke in April and just received a denial due to “pre-existing condition.” When I asked how a stroke is pre-existing, of course they had no answer. They also took 6 weeks to come to this ridiculous conclusion. This company is dishonest, has no problem taking your mine with no intention of paying out when you need it. Please save your money and don't trust Metlife.

      I have an Accident Health benefit. Each time I have had to file a claim MetLife half a claim. They hope you don’t call to see why? I sent info labeled to make it easy for the employees there and they still don’t get it right. This has to be intentional. I have filed three of the same type of claim. I know how to submit. Four or five months later it takes them to properly process a claim. By the time you call weekly spend one hour they owe you a paycheck for facilitating the claim to completion under unnecessary stress to the insurer. It’s ridiculous.

      Read your certificate otherwise will rip you off. I had 10 visits at $50 for particular doctor service. I sent info labeled the 11 visits with a separate page of a full diagnosis from doctor as well. They said they have to have the doctor's notes for each visit. When on page 14 of the certificate it tells you what proof is and they will deny a claim and try not to pay the claim unless you call to educate them on their product 500 times.. It is ridiculous!!!

      Horrible! Absolutely horrible! Although they say they are sorry for the loss of your family member, they will put you through hell to get your payment! It has been 3 months and I'm still trying to get pay out. Every department passes the buck and says their dept doesn't handle this claim, and they will transfer you to the department that does and so on and so on and so on, until you are so frustrated and your language gets colorful. Then they will say they need one more document to process your claim and when you send that they will send you an email that makes you start all over again and you're right back in the loop of WTAF... No one speaks good English at this company. The last time I called the put me on hold and after 10 min I finally hung up.

      Quick and Easy. Get matched with a Life Insurance partner.

The parent company (MetLife, Inc.) is one of the largest insurance sales companies in the world — MetLife, Inc. has over 90 million customers in over 60 countries across the globe.

      • Wide range of products: Besides offering a complete line of life insurance, Met also sells auto, dental, disability, long-term care, and small-business insurance.

      • Competitive: Met is often very competitive in a variety of different product markets.

      • Convenient: Provides one-stop shopping for customers who value that service.

      • Convenience: Customers may become complacent and opt for the convenience of having one company handle all their insurance needs rather than shop for the best product for each area.

      • Risk: Having one company provide all the insurance needs for an individual or company increases risk.
