About MassMutual

MassMutual, legally Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, is a mutual insurer founded in Springfield, Massachusetts, in May 1851. It is still based on State Street in Springfield. The company runs for the benefit of its policyowners rather than outside shareholders and operates in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. Certain policies are issued by its subsidiaries, C.M. Life Insurance Company and MML Bay State Life Insurance Company, so the company name on your contract may differ from the brand.

For most life insurance questions, including claims, MassMutual points customers to one toll-free number, 1-800-272-2216. It is answered on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time. Guaranteed acceptance and simplified issue whole life policies have their own service line, and annuities issued by MassMutual Ascend are also serviced separately. Using the right line saves a transfer.

Beneficiaries can begin a claim online on the company’s claims page. Policyowners can manage their coverage through the online dashboard or the MassMutual mobile app, which is available for iPhone and Android.

Like other mutual insurers, MassMutual works largely through affiliated financial professionals. Its website has a search tool to connect you with one if you want to review coverage or buy a new policy.
