Faxing to Illinois Mutual — FAQ

No. Illinois Mutual routes faxes to separate department lines, so the claims department and the policyholder services team do not share a number. Each area — the claims department, the new-business and underwriting team, the policyholder services team — answers a different fax. Match the department to your document, then send to that specific line. Keep the confirmed number with your paperwork so you are not searching next time.

Put your policy number on every page, plus the claim or reference number when there is one. State the specific Illinois Mutual department the fax is for on the cover sheet. Send it as one combined PDF so the pages stay in order. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.

Faxes reach Illinois Mutual whenever you send, but when they are handled varies by department. Routine claims and service requests are handled on weekdays. Nothing is processed on weekends or holidays. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the department is fully staffed.

It is, provided your fax service encrypts the pages in transit. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act's Safeguards Rule frames how this data should be protected, and the same care applies to sending it in. On Send FAX Mail you send from your phone or computer over an encrypted connection — safer for these documents to Illinois Mutual than a public machine. Limit each page to what the department actually needs, and mark the cover sheet confidential.

A death claim or beneficiary change goes to claims or policyholder services, not underwriting. Put the policy number on every page and include the certified death certificate for a claim. Keep a copy, since claim and beneficiary decisions can take several weeks. Name the receiving department on the cover sheet so it is not misrouted. The result is a clean hand-off to the right desk at Illinois Mutual.
