Where can I find the detailed financial information for the third quarter of 2011?

The detailed financial information is contained within Exhibit 99.1 (Press Release) and Exhibit 99.2 (Quarterly Financial Supplement), which are attached to this 8-K filing and incorporated by reference.

Are the press release and financial supplement considered officially 'filed' with the SEC?

No, according to the filing, the press release and the Quarterly Financial Supplement are furnished and not filed pursuant to instruction B.2 of Form 8-K. This means they are made available to the public for informational purposes but do not carry the same regulatory weight as a filed document.

What specific financial metrics can I expect to find in the furnished documents?

While the 8-K itself does not contain the specific financial metrics, the furnished press release (Exhibit 99.1) and Quarterly Financial Supplement (Exhibit 99.2) would typically include details on revenue, net income, earnings per share (EPS), segment performance, capital ratios, and other key financial indicators relevant to an insurance and financial services company like MetLife.
