Frequently Asked Questions   Life Insurance Company Guaranty Corporation of New York
 
How is policy coverage determined?
Coverage is determined by New York law and the terms of the insurance policy at the time the guaranty corporation is activated to provide protection (when the member insurer is found to be insolvent and ordered liquidated by a court, or is declared impaired and placed in receivership by the New York Superintendent of Insurance). In light of changes in the law and the dramatic variations in policy language, the guaranty corporation cannot make statements regarding coverage of a specific policy unless it is a policy with a company for which the guaranty corporation has been activated to provide protection.
