Company Overview
AMS Life was domiciled in Arizona and licensed in 5 states. The company sold primarily life, annuity, and accident and health (A&H) policies, with the annuity line making up almost 90% of its total business. The life and A&H policies were transferred to various assuming carriers (see below) by year-end 1992. The annuity policies were assumed by Security First Life Insurance Company in October 1993.

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.
