Are all policies fully protected?
Not always. If your insurance company fails, the maximum amount of protection provided by the Georgia guaranty association for each type of policy, no matter how many of that type of policy you bought from your company, is:

Life Insurance Death Benefit: $300,000 per insured life
Life Insurance Cash Surrender: $100,000 per insured life
Health Insurance Claims: $300,000 per insured life
Annuity Cash Value (Present Value): $100,000 per contract owner annuitant
Annuity in benefit payout mode (no cash value): $300,000 per contract owner
Unallocated Group Annuity Benefits: $5,000,000 per contract owner

The Georgia guaranty association's liability cannot be greater than the obligations for which the insolvent insurer would have been liable but for its insolvency. The Association also cannot be liable for punitive or exemplary damages.
