CENTRAL GUARANTEE FUND
Fund allocated by state insurance regulators to repay claims to policyholders should the insurance firm become insolvent. These are accumulated from regular assessments charged to operating insurance firms. When state courts declare an insurance firm insolvent, regulators recover the firm’s remaining assets into the central guarantee fund while the remaining policyholder claims are paid out of the fund.
