Section 11698.21 Of Article 1. Deposits By Workers’ Compensation Insurers From California Insurance Code >> Division 2. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 1.
11698.21
. (a) The reimbursement provision referred to in
subdivision (c) of Section 11698.2 shall provide for the transfer of
the securities in the deposit to the deposits of the reinsurers.
Thereafter, except as provided in subdivision (b), the deposit of the
reinsuring and assuming insurers shall be security for the payment
of all of those obligations assumed by the agreement as well as those
obligations on workers' compensation insurance transacted in this
state by the reinsurer, provided, however, that in determining the
amount which shall remain on deposit as security for those
obligations that are reinsured and assumed, the method prescribed by
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 11693 shall be used
without any limitation as to time. In providing for the transfer of
the securities the agreement may provide for their direct transfer to
the deposit account of the reinsurers, or, if the securities
deposited are in denominations or units as to make the equitable
transfer to more than one reinsurer impossible, it may provide either
for a formula under which the transfers may be made and differences
in value reconciled by payments or credits among the reinsurers or
for the sale of those securities by the commissioner and the
reinvestment of the proceeds in other securities in amounts that can
be so equitably transferred.
(b) The agreement shall provide that if it appears that the market
value of the securities on deposit will exceed the obligations
assumed by the reinsurers, the commissioner may withhold the transfer
of a portion of the deposit and may after a two-year period enter
into a final settlement with the reinsurers with respect thereto at
which time any excess in that deposit shall be transferred to the
general assets of the insurer in the delinquency proceeding.
