How to Check the Value of a MetLife Policy

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, also known as MetLife, is a financial services company that sells financial products to individuals as well as businesses. An individual can establish a life insurance policy with MetLife. The MetLife website explains that the life insurance policy is a dividend-paying policy that builds cash value over time and guarantees the death benefit of the policy. Life insurance policies guarantee that loved ones will be taken care of financially when the individual passes away. Periodically checking the value of the policy is recommended so that the status and additional financial accumulation is known.
