Did You Know?

Since 2000, the insurance rates that LIANS charges to members have been substantially less than the actual cost of providing insurance, which we are able to subsidize through a return of surplus to insured members as a result of wise investment strategies and a positive claim experience. It is expected that, over time, the insurance premium rates will increase until it is equal to the true cost of insurance.
