Court case: In the Matter of CIHC, Inc., Conseco Services, LLC, and Conseco Equity Sales, Inc.
If you held shares in one of the Conseco variable annuity funds between 1999 and 2002, an SEC Fair Fund tied to CIHC, Inc., Conseco Services, LLC, and Conseco Equity Sales, Inc. may already owe you money. The fund has paid out in multiple rounds since at least 2016, most recently a seventh disbursement the SEC ordered on Sept. 20, 2024. Payments go out automatically to accountholders — there is no claim form, no deadline to hit, and nothing to apply for.
Official eligibility wordingAccountholders who held shares in affected Conseco variable annuity funds from December 1, 1999 through October 22, 2002 and whose distribution payment meets or exceeds the $50 de minimis threshold.

How hard is this claim to file?
✅ You do not need to file — payment is automatic.
Watch out for
- Multiple disbursements have already been made (the most recent transferred in September 2024) — if you haven't received anything by now, act quickly to contact the administrator before any remaining funds are exhausted or the case closes.
- The $50 de minimis threshold means very small calculated shares are not paid out — if your loss calculation falls below that, you won't receive a distribution.
- Only accountholders identified by the Independent Distribution Consultant (IDC) from the fund records are eligible — if your account was held under a different name or through an intermediary, you may not appear in their records without follow-up.
