Title 36. Insurance
§36-2036. Assets of impaired or insolvent insurer - Association as creditor - Payment of policies and contractual obligations.
A. For the purpose of carrying out its obligations under the Oklahoma Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act, the Oklahoma Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association shall be deemed to be a creditor of the impaired or insolvent insurer to the extent of assets attributable to covered policies reduced by any amounts to which the Association is entitled as subrogee pursuant to subsection K of Section 2028 of this title. Assets of the impaired or insolvent insurer attributable to covered policies shall be used to continue all covered policies and pay all contractual obligations of the impaired or insolvent insurer as required by the Oklahoma Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act. Assets attributable to covered policies or contracts, as used in this subsection, are that proportion of the assets that the reserves which should have been established for such policies or contracts bear to the reserves which should have been established for all policies of insurance or health benefit plans written by the impaired or insolvent insurer.
B. As a creditor of the impaired or insolvent insurer as established in subsection A of this section and consistent with Section 1927.1 of this title, the Association and other similar associations shall be entitled to receive a disbursement of assets out of the marshaled assets, from time to time as the assets become available to reimburse it, as a credit against contractual obligations under this act. If the liquidator has not, within one hundred twenty (120) days of a final determination of insolvency of a member insurer by the receivership court, made an application to the court for the approval of a proposal to disburse assets out of marshaled assets to guaranty associations having obligations because of the insolvency, then the Association shall be entitled to make application to the receivership court for approval of its own proposal to disburse these assets.
