If a policy of life insurance becomes paid up pursuant to a paid up nonforfeiture benefit, the insurer shall send a notice to the owner of the policy not later than six months after the date the paid up nonforfeiture benefit becomes effective, and once every five years thereafter. The notice shall advise the owner of the policy that the owner, within six months after the date of the notice, may request the insurer to send notices to all direct beneficiaries named in the policy. If so requested, the insurer shall send the notices by first-class mail to the addresses of the beneficiaries as supplied by the owner. The notices shall advise the beneficiaries that they are named as beneficiaries in the policy, and shall identify the owner of the policy and the insured. The insurer shall provide, but not be limited to, the following information upon request from the beneficiary: (a) how the policy of insurance is identified on the records of the insurer, (b) the amount of death benefits, and (c) the cash surrender value of the policy.
