What a name change means
Direct General Life Insurance Company changed its name to Nationwide Life and Benefits Insurance Company on 1 October 2025. The record places it in Columbus, Ohio. A rename leaves the same legal insurer responsible for the contract; the letterhead, payment address, and service number can change. Read the current name on your statement before sending a payment.
The record we checked describes a name change rather than a sale. The policy still has to be read for its own premium, beneficiary, riders, and any cash-value terms.
What to ask after a rename
Give the service team both names — Direct General Life Insurance Company and Nationwide Life and Benefits Insurance Company — and ask them to confirm the policy number, premium, beneficiary, payment address, and claim address in writing.
For a plain checklist, see what to ask the current insurer and when a premium can change.

Direct Life Advisors is an independent agency with 52 carrier relationships. A licensed agent will read your policy with you at no charge to you. We're paid a commission by the insurance company only if you later buy through us — never by you.
