  1. Specify how you want to be paid
    • There are a few options to receive payment:
      1. Lump-sum: you receive the money all at once
      2. Specific income provision: receive the principle on a set schedule over a period of time, you will also receive interests on the amount, but will also have to pay tax on interests
      3. Life income option: you receive a guaranteed income for life
      4. Interest income option: you only receive the interests on the principal, and the life insurance policy remains active and goes to a secondary beneficiary upon your death
    • Make sure you discuss your preference of payment with the insurance company
  1. Wait for the money to be delivered
