Common Questions About This Form
What does this form change on my policy?
The form updates the mailing address on your insurance policy record. After processing, premium statements, claim checks, and explanations of benefits will be sent to the new address you provided on the form.
Can I use this form to update multiple policies at once?
Yes. List all active policy numbers in the relevant fields. This ensures the address change applies to each policy you hold with Bankers Life and Casualty at the same time. Omitting a policy number means that policy will continue sending mail to your old address.
What if a legal representative is filing on my behalf?
A legal representative may submit the address change form, but the submission must include proper authorization documentation. Without this paperwork, Bankers Life and Casualty cannot process the request.
How long does the address change take to process?
The estimated processing time is 30 days from the date Bankers Life and Casualty receives the completed form. If correspondence has not arrived at your new address after that period, contact customer service to confirm the update was completed.
