The employer shall comply with such a requirement within 60 days after receiving notice from the Commissioner.

5. The Commissioner shall require the self-insured employer to submit evidence of excess insurance to provide protection against a catastrophic loss. The excess insurance must be written by an insurer authorized to do business in this State. The Commissioner shall consider the excess insurance coverage as a basis for a reduction in the deposit required of an employer.

6. The Account for Self-Insured Employers is hereby created in the State Agency Fund for Bonds. All money received by the Commissioner pursuant to this section must be deposited with the State Treasurer to the credit of the Account for Self-Insured Employers.

5. The employer may appeal from the ruling of the Administrator relating to the cause of the termination of the employment of the claimant in the same manner as appeals may be taken from determinations relating to claims for benefits.

6. A determination made pursuant to this section does not constitute a basis for disqualifying a claimant to receive benefits.

7. If an employer who is given notice of a claim for benefits pursuant to subsection 1 fails to submit timely to the Division all known relevant facts which may affect the claimant's rights to benefits as required by NRS 612.475 , the employer's record for experience rating is not entitled to be relieved of the amount of any benefits paid to the claimant as a result of such failure that were charged against the employer's record pursuant to NRS 612.550 or 612.553 .
