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

Guaranty fund protection is not unlimited; there are caps and conditions that limit how much the fund will pay. A key limitation is a deductible tied to the failed insurer’s net worth. The fund doesn’t start paying claims until that net‑worth deductible is met, and larger net worth means a larger deductible. That’s why the statement about a large net worth deductible is the correct description of a stated limitation. In practice, the fund does have limits on per‑claim and total payments, and there are lines or situations that aren’t fully covered or are excluded. The idea that there’s no deductible, that workers’ comp coverage is unlimited, or that all lines are fully covered without exclusions doesn’t fit how guaranty funds operate.
