Temp Life Insurance policy from 1981

#1
Hello I have a few questions regarding a temporary Government group life Insurance policy under written by Met Life.

I worked for the Navy as a civilian employee in 1981. I took out all the available coverage offered to me, My life, my accidental death etc. I also elected the family coverage option. The Face amount of the policy is $5000 on my wife. She died in Aug 1981. I was looking through some old paper work and found the coverage. I never claimed her death on the policy. So, after 32 years is this a valid claim? If so, is interest occurred on the face amount? If so how do I figure out the interest earned?

Thank you in advanced for any information you may provide.
