The Connecticut Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association is a statutory entity created in 1972 when the Connecticut legislature enacted the Connecticut Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act (P.A. 280).
The guaranty association is composed of all insurers licensed to sell life insurance, accident and health insurance, and individual annuities in the state of Connecticut.
Specifically, when a member insurer is found to be insolvent and is ordered liquidated, the Insurance Commissioner for the state where the insurer is domiciled, acting as liquidator, takes over the insurer under court supervision and processes the assets and liabilities through liquidation.

In most cases, a guaranty association will continue coverage as long as premiums are paid or cash value exists.
It may do this directly, or, most often, it may transfer the policy, subscriber contract, or certificate to another insurance company.
In any case, the appropriate party should continue making premium payments to keep their coverage in force.
Coverage is determined by Connecticut law and policy language at the time the guaranty association is activated to provide protection (when the member insurer is found to be insolvent and ordered liquidated by a court).
