Why D is correct
Under Fla. Stat. 631.717(12), the Florida Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association's per-life aggregate limit is $300,000 for all benefits other than net cash surrender or withdrawal values, and long-term care benefits fall in this catch-all category. The $100,000 figure applies to life net cash surrender value, $250,000 to deferred annuity net cash value, and $500,000 to basic hospital, basic medical-surgical, and major medical coverages, which expressly exclude LTC.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) $100,000 is the per-life cap on life insurance net cash surrender or withdrawal value, not the long-term care category.
- B) $250,000 is the cap on the net cash value of deferred annuities, not long-term care benefits.
- C) $500,000 applies to basic hospital, basic medical-surgical, and major medical benefits; long-term care is outside that class.
Memory hook
LTC rides the catch-all category: $300,000.
