Summit Business Media’s National Underwriter Life & Health Magazine Beats the Competition on the Most Important Story in the Life Insurance Industry Today

July 15, 2011

Routinely outperforms Wall Journal and New York Times in breaking news and in-depth coverage on the emerging ‘unclaimed property’ issue

July 15, 2011, Erlanger, KYLifeandHealthInsuranceNews.com, National Underwriter Life and Health’s Website, is beating its competition to the virtual newsstands on one of the most important stories in the life and health industry: the issue of unclaimed property and state regulator’s attempts to combat alleged abuses. In many instances, LifeandHealthInsuranceNews.com has been first to break the news and provide more in-depth coverage than two of the most recognized names in the news industry, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

The issue of unclaimed property, as it relates to life insurance, is whether or not life insurers are doing enough to determine if life insurance policy holders have died, locate beneficiaries when the holders have died, and turn unclaimed property over to the appropriate state agencies. As more and more cases of unclaimed property surface, the issue has become a key focus of state regulators and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

“The unclaimed property issue is a news story that has been brewing for a number of years, and as our recent coverage has shown, it has finally bubbled over,” said Bill Coffin, Editor in Chief. “National Underwriter Life & Health has been at the forefront of this story since it broke, covering it with great speed and depth. We expect this story to continue to develop over the coming weeks and months, and as it does, we will be there to cover the most important breaking developments and provide insight on the larger impact this will have on the life insurance industry.”
