The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, domiciled in New Jersey, was licensed to operate in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The company offered life, health, and annuity products available to the individual, group, and business sectors.
An order of rehabilitation was issued in mid-1991, and a liquidation order was issued in 1993. The state life and health insurance guaranty associations helped arrange for several assuming insurers to assume the various blocks of business (see below).
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.
