AARP is a complete false advertisement. They advertise that 'no medical questions are asked,' 'no one can ever be turned down for any reason.' They lie. I tried to get a 5000 life insurance policy for my husband, and was sent a refusal letter by AARP because he has MS. They are a fraud and are not forthright in their advertising. Others need to know this and not get their hopes up of finding affordable life insurance.

After submitting our claim shortly after my mom passed, I started reading the reviews for AARP's life insurance. A good amount of them were very negative, so I expected the worst, since my mom was still within the initial two year period when she passed. Thirty days went by and I received the typical corporate letter stating that they were still investigating. I thought "oh boy here we go I will be lucky to get even a small percentage of our claim". Thirty more days went by and then I received another corporate letter, the only difference was, that this one had a check attached to it with the full claim amount plus two months interest!

In May of 2008 my wife took out a 50,000 life insurance policy. My wife died on 16 Oct 2008. I contacted New York Life and they sent the claim forms to me. The lady seem very concerned for my lost and explained to me what I was to do. I fill out the claim forms and sent them in the day after I received them. I received a letter saying that since the death occured with the first two years they would have to do an inquiry. I received a request for the release of medical records which I fill out and sent back. I received letters from the insurance every three or four weeks telling me where the claim stood.
Today January 20, 2009 I received a check for over 50,000. The extra money received was for interest incurred from the date of my wife's death. I would like to say that I am please with the AARP program and would highly recommend.

AARP advertises that the burial insurance rate will NEVER GO UP. I just received a notice that my rate will increase almost 50% this month, January 2009. They are quilty of false advertising to attrack business or they just plain out tell lies. I think AARP and NYLife Insurance should have to abide by their advertisement of NO RATE INCREASE.

I'm a member of AARP and went to the web site to get a quote for life insurance. I could not use my AARP number. I reviewed the comments from others who have had problems. The last thing I want to is to leave my wife a problem with a insurance company. There fore I will not be contacting AARP for life insurance.

AARP advertises no member will be turned down for AARP Life Insurance. I am and have been , a member for years. My Life insurance application was TURNED DOWN.

In attempting to get a rate quote online from AARP Life Insurance (New Yor Life), the online rate quote site rejected my VALID AARP number - 3 times ! Now if they can't coordinate something as simple as that, what confidence can I possibly have that AARP would corectly pay out the appropriate benefit to my spouse in the event of my demise?
