Welcome to the Information Website for the Haney v. Genworth Life Insurance Class Action Settlement

If you own a Choice 2, Choice 2.1, California CADE, California Reprise, or California Unbundled long-term care insurance policy issued by Genworth Life Insurance Company or Genworth Life Insurance Company of New York, you may be part of a class action settlement. Genworth has agreed to settle a proposed class action involving certain long-term care policies.

On February 15, 2023, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia approved a settlement reached between the parties in the Haney, et al. v. Genworth Life Insurance Company, et al. class action lawsuit (the “Class Action”).

The purpose of this website is to describe the Class Action, to inform Class Members of the proposed settlement terms, and to inform Class Members of their potential rights and options in connection with the settlement.

In January 2022, five policyholders filed a Class Action Complaint alleging that Genworth should have included certain additional information in letters sent to Genworth Choice 2, Choice 2.1, California CADE, California Reprice, and California Unbundled policyholders about premium rate increases. Genworth denies all allegations and maintains that its disclosures to policyholders were reasonable, appropriate, and truthful.

Pending final Court approval and subject to certain conditions, impacted policyholders may receive certain disclosures and policy options, including potential payments or credits. If you are a Class Member, you may be entitled to obtain this relief, and you may have other rights relating to the proposed settlement.

If you received a notice addressed to you in the mail, then you have been identified as a Class Member in the settlement. If the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Court, Class Members will then be sent another correspondence with options to elect to receive benefits under the Settlement Agreement. Please be patient.

Because the rights of Class Members may be affected, it is extremely important that you read this website carefully.

Updates

The Court’s approval of the Settlement is final. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, Genworth will send Special Election Letters to Settlement Class Members on a rolling basis beginning in May or June 2023. Most Settlement Class Members can expect to receive their Special Election Letter approximately eight months prior to their 2024 policy anniversary date, while some policyholders, due to the rolling implementation schedule, will receive their Special Election letter approximately eight months prior to their 2025 policy anniversary date.
