655.545 Liability for payment of benefits; precedence of expenses; priority among claimants.
Liability of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services or the Insurance Fund for the payment of benefits under ORS 655.505 to 655.555 is contingent upon and limited by the availability of reserves in the inmate injury component of the Insurance Fund. In the event that the reserves in the inmate injury component of the Insurance Fund are not sufficient to meet the benefit payments and administration cost for a given period, the expenses of the department shall have precedence over all other claims. Thereafter, priority among claimants is determined according to the time of filing of the claim. [1963 c.527 10; 1991 c.566 12]
