Frequently Asked Questions   Michigan Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association
 
Does it matter where I live?
Yes. Generally speaking, MLHIGA covers only Michigan resident policyholders and certificate holders. Non-residents may also be provided coverage, but only in special circumstances. Residency is determined on the date that a member insurer is declared insolvent. All 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia have life and health insurance guaranty associations. If you are a resident of another state, please contact your department of insurance for contact information for the guaranty association in your state or visit the "Facts & Figures Association Contact Info" section at www.nolhga.com for a complete list of guaranty associations. You may also want to go to the Links section of this site to determine if your state's guaranty association has a Web site. Note that guaranty association coverage varies by state. As a result, coverage provided by the MLHIGA Act may not be the same as coverage provided by another state's law.
