Genworth COI Life Insurance Settlement

Genworth Life & Annuity Insurance Company issued letters in September 2019 announcing cost of insurance (COI) rate increases on Gold and Gold II universal life policies. Policyholders claim these rate increases violated their policy contract terms. Genworth denies the claims but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation costs and delays.

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
