Frequently Asked Questions   Delaware Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association
 
What happens when my insurance company goes out of business?
In most cases, the guaranty association will continue life insurance and annuity contracts, up to the statutory limits as long as premiums are paid or cash value exists. It may do this directly, or, most often, it may transfer the policy to another insurance company. In any case, policyholders should continue making premium payments to keep their coverage in force. Continuation of health insurance will depend upon the terms of your existing health insurance policy.
