What happened
North American Company for Life and Health Insurance allegedly imposed unlawful cost of insurance (COI) charges on Classic Term UL I and II policyowners in violation of contractual provisions. The plaintiff claims these COI charges were not based on the company's expectations as to future mortality experience as required by the policy contract. The defendant denies these allegations and claims COI rates were set in compliance with the contract.

Common questions
- Is the North American Company COI Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at coiclassaction-na.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 North American Company COI Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. Payments cannot be issued until the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
