Health Insurance Premium Refund to a deceased employee

I have an employee who passed away unexpectedly.  I have to refund 3 insurance premiums to his family.  When I write the check, what account would I put the check under?   If I put it under Employee Insurance: Colonial Life, it throws off my Balance Sheet.  I'm not sure how to account for the $77.62.  

 

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you all so much!!

Keep me updated on what you and your accountant figure out. I want to be sure that you're taken care of today. Have a great day!
