§ 85A-99 — Impaired self-insurer.

A. On determination by the Workers' Compensation Commission that a self-insurer has become an impaired self-insurer, the Commission shall secure release of the security required by Section 38 of this title and advise the Self-insurance Guaranty Fund Board of the impairment. Claims administration, including processing, investigating and paying valid claims against an impaired self- insurer under the Administrative Workers' Compensation Act, may include payment by the surety that issued the surety bond or be under a contract between the Commission and an insurance carrier, appropriate state governmental entity or an approved service organization, as approved by the Commission. B. Excess proceeds from the security remaining after each claim for benefits of an impaired self-insurer has been paid, settled or lapsed, and associated costs of administration of such claim have been paid, shall be transferred to the Self-insurance Guaranty Fund and may be used as a credit against the assessment required to be paid by each private self-insurer and group self-insurer association pursuant to Section 98 of this title, as determined by the Self- insurance Guaranty Fund Board.
