I would assume it counts toward your maximum state limit. So, let's say you have $300k in account & 1% monthly checks are $250 per month. If those are paid for 2 years & your state guaranty is max of $250k, you would likely get $245k at payout from fund because you had already taken out $5k in interest payments.
I can't imagine you get maximum plus your prior distributions as some individuals may have been taking large sums out in past before the crisis & would benefit more than others that hadn't taken anything out.
This would be a good question for the Guaranty Association in your state.
Most of us on here have no direct experience with such matters as insurance carrier failures (especially fraud like this) are extremely rare & most of us have never sold a policy from a carrier that ended up in liquidation
Thank you for the reply. My thinking at this time is to take the offer regardless of the tax consequences and at least get something back while I still can I will email my state's Guaranty Association for a response.
