Loss reserves—Establishment and adjustment.

(1) When the director is notified by an insurer with whom a reinsurance contract has been entered into that claims have been made by policyholders, the director shall order the establishment of a loss reserve for each claim. The loss reserves will consist of an accounting transfer from the unrestricted trust account balance of funds sufficient to cover the program's estimated reinsurance reimbursement obligation for costs and expenses for each claim as reported by the insurer.
(2) In the event that the costs and expenses associated with a claim change during the claim adjustment and settlement process, the director shall order that the loss reserve established for that claim be adjusted to reflect changes in the program's reinsurance reimbursement obligation. Such adjustments shall consist of additional transfers of funds from or to the unrestricted trust account balance as required in each case.
