Losing an insurance settlement check can be stressful, especially when repairs are already pending. In many cases, insurance checks are issued with both the homeowner and the mortgage company listed as payees. If the mortgage company never receives the check due to a mailing issue, the claim process may feel delayed and overwhelming.
The good news is that a lost check can usually be reissued. The first step is to contact your insurance carrier as soon as possible and request a stop payment on the missing check. Once confirmed, the carrier can issue a new check with the correct payee information. It’s also helpful to verify the mailing address and ensure all parties involved are aware of the reissue request.
