Claims against foreign insurers.| (a) In a delinquency proceeding in a reciprocal state against an insurer domiciled in that state, claimants against the insurer who reside within this state may file claims either with the ancillary receiver, if any, appointed in this state, or with the domiciliary receiver. The claims shall be filed on or before the last date fixed for the filing of claims in the domiciliary delinquency proceedings.

The notice shall contain a concise statement of the amount of the claim, the facts on which the claim is based and the priorities asserted, if any. If the domiciliary receiver within thirty (30) days after the giving of the notice gives notice in writing to the ancillary receiver and to the claimant, either by registered mail or by personal service, of his intention to contest the claim, he is entitled to appear or to be represented in any proceeding in this state involving the claim adjudication. The final allowance of the claim by the courts of this state shall be accepted as conclusive as to its amount and shall also be accepted as conclusive as to its priority, if any, against special deposits or other security located within this state.

All such claims shall be verified by the affidavit of the claimant, or someone authorized to act on his behalf and having knowledge of the facts, and shall be supported by documents material thereto.  (b) All claims filed in this state shall be filed with the receiver, whether domiciliary or ancillary, in this state, on or before the last date for filing as specified in this chapter.  (c) Within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of any claim, or within any further period as the court, for good cause shown, determines, the receiver shall report the claim to the court, specifying in the report his recommendation with respect to the action to be taken thereon. Upon receipt of the report, the court shall fix a time for hearing the claim and shall direct that the claimant or the receiver, as the court specifies, shall give notice as the court determines to those persons as appear to the court to be interested therein. The notices shall specify the time and place of the hearing and shall concisely state the amount and nature of the claim, the priorities asserted, if any, and the recommendation of the receiver with reference thereto.

2021 Wyoming Statutes|Title 26 - Insurance Code|Chapter 28 - Rehabilitation and Liquidation|Section 26-28-117 - Priority of Certain Claims.

26-28-117. Priority of certain claims.| (a) In a delinquency proceeding against an insurer domiciled in this state, claims owing to residents of ancillary states are preferred claims if like claims are preferred under the laws of this state. All claims owing to residents or nonresidents shall be given equal priority of payment from general assets regardless of where the assets are located.  (b) In a delinquency proceeding against an insurer domiciled in a reciprocal state, claims owing to residents of this state shall be preferred if like claims are preferred by the laws of that state.  (c) The owners of special deposit claims against an insurer for which a receiver is appointed in this or any other state shall be given priority against their special deposits in accordance with the provisions of the statutes governing the creation and maintenance of the deposits. If there is a deficiency in any deposit so that the claims secured thereby are not fully discharged, the claimants may share in the general assets, but that sharing shall be deferred until general creditors, and also claimants against other special deposits who have received smaller percentages from their special deposits, have been paid percentages of their claims equal to the percentage paid from the special deposit.  (d) The owner of a secured claim against an insurer for which a receiver has been appointed in this or any other state may surrender his security and file his claim as a general creditor, or the claim may be discharged by resort to the security, in which case the deficiency, if any, shall be treated as a claim against the insurer's general assets on the same basis as claims of unsecured creditors. If the amount of the deficiency is adjudicated in ancillary proceedings as provided in this chapter, or if it is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in proceedings in which the domiciliary receiver has had notice and opportunity to be heard, the amounts are conclusive. Otherwise the amount shall be determined in the delinquency proceeding in a domiciliary state.

(b) If an insurer is adjudicated to be insolvent, any person who has a cause of action against an insured of that insurer, under a liability insurance policy issued by the insurer, may file a claim in the liquidation proceeding, regardless of the fact that the claim is contingent, and the claim may be allowed if:  (i) It may be reasonably inferred from the proof presented upon the claim that the person would be able to obtain a judgment upon the cause of action against the insured;  (ii) The person furnishes suitable proof, unless the court for good cause shown otherwise directs, that no further valid claim against the insurer arising out of his cause of action other than those already presented can be made; and  (iii) The insurer's total liability to all claimants arising out of the same act of its insured is no greater than its maximum liability would be were it not in liquidation.

No judgment against an insured taken by default or by collusion prior to the entry of the liquidation order shall be considered as conclusive evidence in the liquidation proceedings, either of the liability of the insured to the person upon the cause of action or of the amount of damages to which the person is entitled.
