Your Protection as a North Dakota Policyholder
Life insurance in North Dakota is regulated by the North Dakota Insurance Department, which licenses agents and insurers and
handles consumer complaints. Like every state, North Dakota also has a life & health insurance guaranty
association — a safety net that protects policyholders (up to limits set by state law, commonly $300,000 in
death benefits) if an insurer becomes insolvent. Working with a licensed agent and an admitted insurer is
what puts that protection behind your policy.
