Do I need proof of purchase for the Genworth COI Life Insurance Settlement?

No. You can file without a receipt or proof of purchase. You attest that you qualify and submit basic details, though claims are still subject to review and submitting a false claim is a crime.

Is the Genworth COI Life Insurance Settlement notice real, or a scam?

JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at genworthcoisettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.

When will payments from the Genworth COI Life Insurance Settlement be sent?

Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for October 17, 2022; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
