Frequently Asked Questions   Georgia Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association
 
For example, if I own three annuities and each has a cash surrender value of $100,000 and my licensed insurance company fails, how much will the Georgia association pay if I want to cash surrender my annuities?
The total annuity cash surrender protection per owner per licensed insurer is $100,000. That per person limit is a maximum that applies without regard to the number of annuity contracts. As a result, if an individual owned three $100,000 annuities with the same insolvent licensed insurance company, the Georgia association would pay a maximum total of $100,000 in cash surrender values. The value in excess of this statutory coverage limit would be eligible for submission as a creditor claim in the receivership, and the owner may receive distributions as the company's assets are liquidated by the receiver.
