Overview

Mission

To protect New York resident policyholders of life and health insurance policies, annuity contracts, and funding agreements in the event of a member insurer insolvency.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Corporation assumed the ownership of all long-term care insurance contracts issued by American Independent Network Insurance Company of New York ("AINIC") upon its dissolution. At December 31, 2025, the Corporation was responsible for approximately $36 million of potential benefits payable under the AINIC contracts. To cover the initial cost of these obligations, the Corporation assessed its member companies a total of $25 million, of which $24.1 million was collected in 2024 and $884 thousand was collected in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 90% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
