Which of the following is a limitation on Guaranty Fund coverage?

Guaranty Fund coverage is not a blanket safety net; it only kicks in after a formal insolvency has been established. The test here is recognizing that the fund’s payments depend on a court finding an insurer insolvent and placing the company into liquidation. This legal determination provides the authority and structure for distributing limited funds to cover claims, after priorities and procedures are set by the liquidation process. Without that court-ordered insolvency and liquidation, the fund does not activate, so this trigger is the definitive limitation. The other statements don’t describe this triggering mechanism. They refer to aspects like broad line coverage or unlimited premium refunds or no deductible, which aren’t the fundamental limitation governing when the fund pays claims.
