[I064]
An amount of money assessed certain insurers in a given state to reimburse policyholders and claimants of an insolvent insurer in that state. The fund may be created before an insolvency occurs (preassessment, as in New York) or afterward (postassessment), and virtually all states now have such protection. Also called a guaranty fund.
