State Guaranty Associations Protection For Long-Term Care Insurance
Everyone who has money in a bank has heard of the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) which protects your deposits in case the bank fails. Simply stated, it is insurance paid for by all banks (or really the depositors).
Consumers who purchase insurance have similar protection. But few people are aware of these guarantees that apply to insurance - including long-term care insurance protection. This webpage gives a simple explanation including limits of the guarantees. We also provide phone numbers and links to websites for the various State Departments of Insurance.
STATE GUARANTY ASSOCIATIONS PROTECT CONSUMERS
Each state operates an insurance Guaranty Association (this is the equivalent of the insurance industry's FDIC). Actually each state has two Associations -- one for life and health insurance and a second for 'property and casualty (car, home) insurance. Should an insurance company fail, policyholders are protected up to certain limits. Every insurance company that sells policies in the State is assessed a fee to cover any costs. They must pay the fee.
If you own a long-term care insurance policy, the State Guaranty Association for the state where you reside protects your benefits up to set limits that can be as much as $500,000. This is added protection that should give you some added peace of mind.
