California Life & Health Insurance Guarantee Association PO Box 16860 / Beverly Hills, CA 90209-3319 Home About Us FAQs Receiverships Additional Info Links Terms of Use Contact Us Frequently Asked Questions      Why hasn't my agent or company told me more about the Guarantee Association? Insurers and agents are prohibited by state law from using the existence of the Guarantee Association to sell, solicit or induce the purchase of any form of insurance. This is because the protection is limited, and in some cases there is no protection at all. The existence of the Guarantee Association, therefore, is not and should not be a substitute for your prudent selection of an insurance company that is well managed and financially stable.   NOTE: This information is not intended as legal advice, and no liability is assumed in connection with its use.
