Overview
It is a sworn statement — also called a life certificate, certificate of existence, or living certificate — confirming that you are alive, witnessed by a notary public or commissioner for taking affidavits.
It lets a pension or benefit provider confirm a recipient is still living before continuing payments.
It is requested by pension and benefit programs.
