Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
Unclaimed Property

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company currently holds $39.1 million in unclaimed property across 18,967 separate records in California. These funds typically originate from life insurance policies where beneficiaries were never located, unclaimed policy dividends, forgotten annuity payments, and dormant investment accounts that lost contact with policyholders.

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is one of America's largest life insurance companies, offering life insurance, annuities, employee benefits, and investment products that frequently generate unclaimed property. MetLife customers commonly lose track of money when they move without updating their address with the company, when beneficiaries are unaware of life insurance policies, when automatic dividend payments can't be delivered, or when small annuity payments go unclaimed after policy maturation.

The highest concentrations of MetLife unclaimed property in California are found in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego - reflecting both the state's major population centers and MetLife's significant presence in these metropolitan insurance markets. As a company operating for over 150 years through numerous mergers and acquisitions, some unclaimed property may be listed under MetLife's former subsidiary names or predecessor companies, which can make it harder for rightful owners to identify their funds during searches.

The average claim from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is $2.1K.
