Steps on How to Claim St. Peter Plan Philippines

Before we dive into the steps, remember that you may also ask for assistance from your plan agent to help you with the process of claiming benefits.

Step 1: Notify St. Peter Life Plan, Inc. (SPLPI).

Call SPLPI’s hotline or visit a branch near you in the Philippines to inform them about the plan holder’s death. Furthermore, you must give the branch personnel your contact details or anyone’s number to know whom they’ll contact upon getting the body.

Step 2: Submit the necessary documents to SPLPI.

Once notified, SPLPI will provide you with the list of requirements that should be completed and submitted to them. As discussed above, conditions will depend on the specific claim of a beneficiary. For bodies to get within the Philippines, it can be done already by SPLPI along with funeral services while complying with the necessary documents mentioned above.

Yet, when the pandemic started, St. Peter requires a Certification from the barangay as an added document. According to my interviewed agent, this will help SPLPI to prepare what materials to bring when getting a covid body. Additionally, for protection and precaution purposes as we’re still in pandemic guidelines.

Step 3: Wait for the verification of the submitted documents.

SPLPI will review and verify the submitted documents to ensure they’re complete and accurate. As mentioned in the previous step, when the pandemic hits in the Philippines, this added document comes from the barangay that enables SPLPI to prepare for a covid-diagnosed scenario. And once the documents are verified, SPLPI will process the claim.

Step 4: Receive the proceeds of the St. Peter Plan.

Once the claim has been approved, SPLPI will release the proceeds of the St. Peter Plan to the beneficiaries through a check. Note that this pertains to financial assistance since the funeral services are already done when you notified St. Peter as explained above.
