Loss reserves—Use and disposition.
(1) When the adjustment and settlement of claims for which the program has provided reinsurance has been completed, the insurer shall notify the director of the terms of final settlement and shall provide such documentation as the director may require. The director shall order that the insurer be reimbursed for those costs and expenses in excess of the insurer's contractual net retention that are properly due to the insurer under the reinsurance contract. Such payments will be made from the funds set aside as loss reserves for the pertinent claim.
(2) In the event that the program's final reinsurance obligation for any claim differs from the amount set aside as a loss reserve for that claim, adjustment shall be made as follows:
(a) If the program's reinsurance obligation is greater than the amount set aside as a loss reserve, the additional funds required shall be withdrawn from the unrestricted trust account balance.
(b) If the program's reinsurance obligation is less than the amount set aside as a loss reserve, the unutilized funds shall be restored to the unrestricted trust account balance.
