Life & Health Guaranty Associations
Most states have guaranty funds to help pay the claims of
financially impaired insurance companies. State laws specify the lines of
insurance covered by these funds and the dollar limits payable. Coverage is
usually for individual policyholders and their beneficiaries and not for values
held in unallocated group contracts. Most states also restrict insurance agents
and companies from advertising the funds’ availability.
There are many issues, too numerous to describe here, which
determine the type and extent of coverage available. You are advised to consult
your state insurance department for details about any policy you consider
purchasing. Another source of information is the National Organization of Life
and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations (NOLHGA, 13873 Park Center Road,
Suite 329, Herndon, VA 22071). http://www.nolhga.com/factsandfigures/main.cfm/location/stateinfo
