The New York Insurance Department's Office of General Counsel has answered a question that could prove important for holders of Long Term Care Insurance policies in New York.

The question:

"Would a NY resident insured under an individual long-term care policy purchased in New York, with a maximum lifetime value of $393,000, be protected under LICGC if the insurer becomes insolvent either before or after the insured enters a long-term care facility?"

NOTICE: New York State Insurance law prohibits the use of the LICGC in the sales or solicitation of insurance.  This is not a solicitation.
