14VAC5-380-70. Reserves.

A. Every pool shall calculate the amount reasonably determined to be sufficient to provide for the payment of every loss or claim whether reported or unreported, arising on or prior to the date of any annual or other statement and it shall maintain a reserve liability in an amount estimated in the aggregate to provide for the payment of all such losses or claims and any expenses related thereto.

B. Each pool shall maintain reserves equal to the unearned portion of the gross contribution or assessment, if any, on unexpired or unterminated risks.

C. Every pool may receive credit for insurance or reinsurance recoverable from an insurance company licensed to transact such insurance in this Commonwealth, or any state of the United States or the District of Columbia and meeting the standards of solvency at least equal to those required in this Commonwealth. A pool may receive credit for insurance or reinsurance with any other insurer to the extent that funds are withheld as security for the payment of obligations thereunder if such funds are held subject to withdrawal by and are under the control of the pool. Such funds may include letters of credit subject to the approval of the Commission. Credit may be received for insurance or reinsurance recoverable on the basis of an agreement entered into with individual unincorporated underwriters having a trusteed surplus of at least $100,000,000.

D. Credit may be received for insurance or reinsurance when the contract is:

1. Not cancelable or terminable for any reason except upon not less than 60 days written notice sent by registered or certified mail to (i) the pool and (ii) the Commission;

2. Automatically renewable at the expiration of the policy period except upon 60 days written notice sent by registered or certified mail to (i) the pool, and (ii) the Commission.

E. No more than one pool, which shall be defined as the named insured, shall be covered by any contract or policy of excess liability insurance. Any contract of insurance or reinsurance shall be payable by the assuming insurer on the basis of the liability of the pool under the contract or contracts assumed without diminution because of the insolvency of the pool.

F. Copies of the complete contracts or policies of insurance or reinsurance, with all endorsements thereto entered into by the pool for the benefit of the pool, shall be filed with the Commission.

G. No pool shall expose itself to a net retained liability for any loss on any one risk or hazard in an amount exceeding 10% of the aggregate annual contribution, unless authorized by the Commission.
