Reporting Interest from Life Insurance Benefit - No 1099-INT

My mother passed last year, (2023), and I received Life Insurance benefits from two companies. Both have stated they will not be sending a 1099-INT. My understanding is I still need to self-report, (one had $123.xx in interest on top of the benefit, the second had less than $1 in interest). Since I have no 1099-INT to refer to, do I simply use the prompts to type the name of the insurance company and the amount attributed to interest, (ignoring the actual benefit amount itself of course)? Thank you!
