One of the things that you can do is to contact the customer service department of the insurer. Doing so can give you the current cash value, which is based upon the actual return on the company's investments, and which is a large part upon which the growth of cash value is based.

You should also review the policy itself, ssuming that it is a whole life policy (which is the only type on which cash value accumulates). One or more pages of the policy, typically toward the front of the policy, will be entitled "Table of Cash Value" or words of similar import. It will incicate the projected (not guaranteed) accumulation of cash value, and the current total, according to how long the policy has been in force.

Keep in mind that if you ceased making premium payments for a period of time, the policy may have been "kept alive" by having premiums deducted from cash value. If that happened, the actual cash value at a given point in time may be less than that shown on the table.

What are examples of cash value insurance?

Cash value insurance can be "whole life insurance" or "universal life insurance". There are few differences on how the funds are invested and if dividends can be paid that would increase the cash value, but both types of permanent life insurance can accumulate cash value. There is also a type of term insurance that has a "return of premium" feature that will return all premiums back at the end of the term. This type of term life policy is not actually accumulating cash value because you only get back the premiums you paid.
