An Ohio program begun a little over a year and a-half ago has tracked down nearly 450 lost life insurance policies, typically for families of Ohioans who have died.

The successes were out of more than 680 valid requests submitted to the Ohio Department of Insurance since its missing life policy search service was launched in September 2009.

Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor calls the numbers “amazing.” She says in a statement that the program is able to help people through cooperation between the insurance department and Ohio life insurance companies.

A form for initiating a search request can be found on the department’s Web site. It must be returned with a certified death certificate.
