When might the Iowa Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association provide benefits?
If your insurer is no longer able to fulfill its obligations, ongoing benefit payments to you may be reduced or suspended by the courts in order to sort out the affairs of the financially troubled insurer. As a result, you may have to wait many months before the Iowa Guaranty Association is permitted or able to provide benefit payments. Hardship provisions may be instituted by the receiver to continue benefit payments.
