About Us

Specifically, when a member insurer is found to be insolvent and is ordered liquidated, a special deputy receiver takes over the insurer under court supervision and processes the assets and liabilities through liquidation. The task of servicing the insurance company's policies and providing coverage to Oregon's resident policyholders becomes the responsibility of the guaranty association. The protection provided by the guaranty association is based on Oregon law and the language of the insolvent company's policies at the time of insolvency.

We will make every effort to ensure that the information provided here is in accordance with the most current law in the event that the Oregon legislature amends the Guaranty Association Act or other laws. However, if there should be any inconsistency between the Guaranty Association Act or any other law or regulation and the information on this Web site, the relevant law will supersede. In light of these changes in law and the dramatic variations in policy language, the association cannot make statements regarding coverage of a specific policy unless it is a policy with a company for which the association has been activated to provide protection. Finally, this Web site is for general information purposes and should not be relied upon as legal advice.

Again, we hope the information provided in this Web site is useful. Be sure to read the Frequently Asked Questions section of the site for more information, and please refer to the Contact Us section if you have any questions for the guaranty association.
