Do you think you may have been named as a beneficiary by someone who died?
According to an investigation by Consumer Reports, there's currently about one billion dollars in life insurance benefits still waiting to be claimed.
Why?
Some people buy life insurance and don't tell their beneficiaries about it.
But the insurance industry is to blame too.
When a policy holder dies, an insurance company doesn't always go looking for the beneficiaries.
