FORM:RA3441 • 5 • WYOMING GUARANTY ASSOCIATION ACT NOTICE CONCERNING COVERAGE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS UNDER THE WYOMING LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION ACT Residents of Wyoming who purchase life insurance, annuities or health insurance should know that the insurance companies licensed in this state to write these types of insurance are members of the Wyoming Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association. The purpose of this association is to assure that Policyholders will be protected, within limits, in the unlikely event that a member insurer becomes financially unable to meet its obligations. If this should happen, the Guaranty Association will assess its other member insurance companies for the money to pay the claims of insured persons who live in this state and, in some cases, to keep coverage in force. The valuable extra protection provided by these insurers through the Guaranty Association is not unlimited, however. And, as noted below, this protection is not a substitute for consumers'care in selecting companies that are well-managed and financially stable. The Wyoming Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association may not provide coverage for this Policy. If coverage is provided, it may be subject to substantial limitations or exclusions, and require continued residency in Wyoming. You should not rely on coverage by the Wyoming Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association in selecting an insurance company or in selecting an insurance Policy. Coverage is NOT provided for your Policy or any portion of it that is not guaranteed by the insurer or for which you have assumed the risk, such as a variable Contract sold by prospectus. Insurance companies or their agents are required by law to give or send you this notice. However, insurance companies and their agents are prohibited by law from using the existence of the guaranty association to induce • you to purchase any kind of insurance Policy.
