94161
. (a) The authority shall establish procedures under which
financial institutions may submit claims for reimbursement for losses
incurred as a result of qualified loan defaults. A financial
institution that charges off all or part of a qualified loan to the
loss reserve account may file a claim for reimbursement with the
authority if all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The claim occurs contemporaneously with the action of the
financial institution to charge off all or part of the qualified
loan.
(2) The charge off on a qualified loan is made in a manner that is
consistent with the financial institution's usual method for making
determinations on personal loans that are not qualified loans.
(3) The financial institution has met all of the conditions
established by the authority to assist the borrower in making
payments prior to filing a claim for reimbursement.
(b) Costs for which a financial institution may be reimbursed from
its loss reserve account include the amount of qualified loan
principal charged off, accrued interest on the principal, reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in pursuing its collection efforts,
including preservation of collateral, and any other related costs.
Proper documentation of the expenses, to the satisfaction of the
authority, shall be presented at the time of the claim.
(c) If a financial institution files two or more claims
contemporaneously, and there are insufficient funds in the loss
reserve account at that time to cover the entire amount of such
claims, the financial institution may designate the order of priority
in which the claims shall be paid.
(d) A financial institution may seek reimbursement of qualified
loan losses prior to the liquidation of collateral, if any, from
defaulted qualified loans. The financial institution shall repay the
loss reserve account for any moneys received as reimbursement under
this section if the financial institution recovers moneys from the
qualified borrower or from the liquidation of collateral for the
defaulted qualified loan, less any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in collection of this amount.
(e) In any case in which the payment of a claim under this section
has fully covered a financial institution's loss on a qualified
loan, the financial institution shall assign to the authority any
right or title to, or interest in, any collateral, security, or other
right of recovery in connection with a qualified loan made under the
program.
