Insurers responsible

Q

My husband and I have quite a few Detroit General Obligation bonds back by AMBAC and other insurers. Aren’t the insurers responsible for paying us if the city defaults on these G.O. bond payments?

That is correct. The bond insurers are responsible for the timely payment of interest and principal.
