I received a 1099-INT — what is this and why did I get
one?
IRS tax form 1099-INT represents interest that was paid to you during the year
by Unum. If you were the beneficiary of a life insurance policy and
received death proceeds during the year, any interest earned before such
payment was made will be reported on form 1099-INT. Please consult your tax
advisor regarding the taxation of this payment.

I received a 1099-MISC — what is this and why did I
get one?
Unum is required to report any payment made in the course of doing
business. Some payments included on form 1099-MISC are for long term care
payments to health care facilities, payments made to medical providers and
survivor income benefits, among others. Please consult your tax advisor
regarding the taxation of these payments.
