Where Genworth is today
A long-term care company now.
Genworth was once a major individual-life insurer. Today its focus has moved (per Genworth):
Focused on long-term care
Genworth’s business today centers on long-term care insurance — the coverage that helps pay for care at home or in a facility, a field it has long been one of the largest names in.
The CareScout chapter
Through its CareScout business, Genworth has brought a newer standalone long-term care product to market — part of a multi-year effort to revitalize that side of the company.
Still servicing policies
If you already own a Genworth life insurance or annuity policy, it remains in force and Genworth continues to service it — premiums, beneficiaries, and claims.
No new individual life
Genworth no longer issues new individual life insurance policies. For new life coverage, you’d look to carriers writing that business today.

It’s in force. Let’s make sure it still fits.
Nothing about Genworth’s change affects a policy you already own — it stays in force, and Genworth keeps servicing it. What’s worth doing is a quick check that it still matches your life: the right beneficiary, the right amount, and a clear picture of how it’s performing.
Often the answer is that you’re in good shape, and we’ll tell you so. If something needs attention, we’ll help you reach Genworth and sort it out.
A company changing what it sells doesn’t change the promise on a policy you already hold. We just make sure that promise still lines up with your life.
If you’re shopping for new coverage
Plenty of strong carriers are writing today.
Since Genworth isn’t issuing new individual life, the useful next step is to compare the carriers that are. Term, whole life, or final expense — the right one depends on your age, your health, and what the coverage is for. A licensed professional lines up the ones that fit and shows you where each lands on price.

By Braxton Mondell, licensed in all 50 states · Updated June 2026
01Does Genworth still sell life insurance?
Not new individual life insurance. Genworth has stopped issuing new individual life policies and shifted its focus to long-term care insurance, including its CareScout business. It continues to service the life and annuity policies already in force.
02What does Genworth offer now?
Its current focus is long-term care insurance — coverage that helps pay for care at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing facility — including a newer standalone product through CareScout. It also continues to administer existing life and annuity policies.
03I have a Genworth life insurance policy — what should I do?
Keep paying it if it still fits your needs; it remains in force. It’s worth a free review to confirm the beneficiary is current, the coverage still matches your life, and the policy is performing as expected. A licensed professional can read it with you and help you reach Genworth if anything needs attention.
04I want new life insurance — what are my options?

05Is Genworth still a real, active company?
Yes. Genworth Financial is a publicly traded company that remains active, pays claims on its in-force policies, and is investing in the long-term care side of its business. The change is in what it sells new — not in whether it stands behind existing coverage.
