How Your Insurance Policies Are Protected In California

To protect the insured, a guaranty association, which is a statutory entity created by the state, is established by state legislation. The guaranty association is composed of all insurers licensed to sell life insurance, accident and health insurance, and individual annuities in the state. In the event that a member insurer is found to be insolvent and is placed under a final order of liquidation, rehabilitation or conservation by a court of competent jurisdiction, the guaranty association will provide protection up to statutory limits (set out in the State Act) to insured beings who are state residents and who are holders of life and health insurance policies and individual annuities with the insolvent insurer.

When a member insurer is found to be insolvent and is ordered liquidated, a court
appointed receiver takes over the insurer under court supervision and processes the
assets and liabilities through liquidation. Typically, the guaranty association works with other effected guaranty associations in other states and the court appointed receiver in servicing the insurance company's policies and providing coverage to resident policyholders. The protection provided by the guaranty association is based on limits set forth in the law and the language of the insolvent company's policies at the time of insolvency.
