Policyholder Information

Company Overview

Consumers United Insurance Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Consumers United Group, Inc., a Delaware holding company with 100% ownership by a trust established for the benefit of the employees. The company concentrated on not-for-profit association group programs--group life, annuities, and accident and health products, as well as employee benefit plans. Consumers United was licensed in the District of Columbia and all states except Connecticut, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

An order of liquidation was issued in mid-1994. The state life and health insurance guaranty associations helped arrange for two assuming insurers to assume its policy obligations (see below).

Policy & Claims Administration

Policies of an insolvent company are often transferred to a financially sound insurance company. If policies are not transferred to another company, the policies are continued and claims administered by either the guaranty associations or a third-party administrator (TPA) working on behalf of the associations. Please contact the company/TPA listed below or the guaranty association in your state of residence for more information about your policy.
