ASSOCIATION AMENDMENT ACT OF 2023
DATE: March 5, 2024
The purpose of this Bulletin is to update the summary disclosure regarding life and health
guaranty association insolvency protection. Pursuant to D.C. Official Code ยง 31-5416, as
amended by D.C. Law 25-0122, all life, health, and annuity contract providers subject to the
provisions therein are required to provide policy and contract holders the attached
"SUMMARY OF GENERAL PURPOSES, COVERAGE LIMITATIONS, AND CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS" notice prior to or at the time of delivery of the policy or contract.
Insurers do not need to file the form they intend to use with the Department of Insurance,
Securities and Banking ("Department"), unless they modify the language used in any way.
Please also note that the Department removed addresses from the notice for both the
Department and the Guaranty Association to avoid the need to update the notice should

continue to be available in the notice.
