Even though they are not bank holding companies as originally required for the original qualifications for receiving bailout money from the public, six insurance companies will now have the option of receiving this money.
Among others, Allstate, Ameriprise Financial, Hartford Financial Services, Lincoln National Group, Principal Financial, and Prudential applied earlier for inclusin in the Troubled Asset Relief Program. These six companies have now been approved for a chance to shore up their balance sheets with a piece of the $135 billion remaining for bailout.
