What does it mean when death benefit is larger than the face value?
It means that the payor paid enough premium into the policy that the accumulation of cash in the policy grew to an amount that exceeds the number shown as the life insurance amount. For example, there is a $50,000 life insurance policy. The payor paid $30,000 into the policy at policy inception and paid nothing else. The $30,000 is credited interest or is invested in the stock market so that the $30,000 grows over time to an amount that exceeds $50,000. If the $30,000 grows to $67,000, the death benefit is $67,000; not $50,000. The "face value" is $50,000.

Is an insurance company legally required to request a w-9 form before releasing life insurance proceeds also should this w-9 form be sent to the IRS if the payees tinssn is provided on the submitted c?
Yes, such a form can be requested. It identifies the SSN/TIN of the person receiving the proceeds from a death settlement. The W-9 is not to be sent to the IRS. If you receive interest on the death settlement, you will receive a 1099-I that will refer only to the amount of interest you received. For example, if the death benefit was $ 10,000 and you received $100 in interest on that, you will receive a 1099-I for the $100 - taxes are not paid on the death benefit. == ==

Can you bank on yourself with universal life insurance to build wealth for paying debts and retirement?
Some whole life insurance policies are structured such that you can borrow on the death benefit but you much pay it back over time with interest. The interest is yours to keep as part of the total death benefit of your life insurance plan. If you pay your premiums you will be able to borrow up to the death benefit. If you pay your premiums plus additional money, the money you "save" can be invested to grow tax-free. You can borrow this money too and must repay it to yourself with interest. The point is that when you pay premiums for a whole life policy, that money is ultimately going to be your estate's at some point when you die. You are just borrowing on it while alive. If you die prior to paying back the money you borrow, the death benefit of the policy pays off the balance of the loan.
