I think the companies should disclose the information, but the families are not entitled to the payout since they did not pay the premiums. The family can sue for the insurance money if it can be proven that the company was responsible for the death of the employee.

If someone profits from a picture taken of me without my permission then they are liable to be sued for stealing my image. Likewise if they profit from my death without my permission, they are essentially stealing from me whether they paid the premiums or not.
I own my own person and they are not entitled to profit on my property.
Now if they make it a condition of employment there, and it is included in the the written contract, then it is ok.
