About The United States Life Insurance Co. (NY)
The United States Life Insurance Co. (NY) carries an AM Best rating of A, reflecting the company's financial strength and ability to meet its ongoing insurance obligations. AM Best ratings are the gold standard for evaluating insurance company stability.
When you purchase an annuity, your guarantees are backed by the issuing insurance company's claims-paying ability. That's why choosing a carrier with strong financial ratings is essential. An AM Best rating of "A" or higher indicates excellent financial strength.
What Does the AM Best Rating Mean?
- A++ / A+ — Superior financial strength
- A / A- — Excellent financial strength
- B++ / B+ — Good financial strength
- B or below — Fair to marginal; exercise caution
MYGA vs. Bank CD: Why Annuity Rates Are Often Higher
MYGAs and bank CDs both offer guaranteed rates, but there are key differences that often make MYGAs the better choice for long-term savers:
| Feature | MYGA | Bank CD |
|---|---|---|
| Tax Treatment | Tax-deferred | Taxed annually |
| Typical Rates (4-yr) | 3.8% | ~4.0–4.5% |
| FDIC Insured | No (state guaranty fund) | Yes (up to $250K) |
| Annual Fees | None | None |
| Early Withdrawal | Surrender charges + possible penalty | Early withdrawal penalty |
| Minimum Investment | $249,999 | Varies ($500–$1,000+) |
The tax-deferred advantage is significant: with a CD, you pay income tax on interest every year, reducing your effective return. With a MYGA, your full interest compounds untaxed until withdrawal — potentially resulting in thousands more in growth over the term.
Rates shown are effective as of February 24, 2026 and are subject to change without notice. Annuity guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Annuities are not FDIC insured, not bank guaranteed, and may lose value.
