Part of it is used to pay the wages of the people who work for the insurance company, part of it goes as earnings to the people who own the company, and some goes out to cover damages that insurance holders claim compensation for.

What does insurance companies do with the monthly payments they receive from customers?

Those payments are referred to as "premiums". The premiums are paid in return for the insurance company's promise to pay the face amount of the insurance upon the death of the person insured. The premiums charged by an insurance company are required to be "actuarially sound". This means that the premiums collected for all policies of a particular type and covering similar kinds of risks (for example, people with no health problems), together with income earned on the premiums, has to be enough to pay expected losses. Insurance companies are permitted by the laws of the states in which they do business to invest a part of premiums collected in conservative investments. The earnings on those investments adds to the "surplus" of the insurance company and helps to keep it financially sound. In turn, the number of policies that the company can issue (its "risk exposure") is a finction of its surplus and certain other factors specified by the insurance laws of the states in which it operates. A certain amount of the premiums are also applied to the ongoing business expenses to operate the company.
