Receiver's proposal to disperse assets upon liquidation—Application for approval—Contents of proposal—Notice of application.
(1) Within one hundred twenty days of a final determination of insolvency of an insurer and order of liquidation by a court of competent jurisdiction of this state, the receiver shall make application to the court for approval of a proposal to disperse assets out of that insurer's marshalled assets from time to time as assets become available to the Washington insurance guaranty association and the Washington life and disability insurance guaranty association and to any entity or person performing a similar function in another state. For purposes of this section, "associations" means the Washington insurance guaranty association and the Washington life and disability insurance guaranty association and any entity or person performing a similar function in other states.
(2) Such a proposal must at least include provisions for:
(a) Reserving amounts for the payment of claims falling within the priorities established in RCW 48.31.280;
(b) Disbursement of the assets marshalled to date and subsequent disbursements of assets as they become available;
(c) Equitable allocation of disbursements to each of the associations entitled thereto;
(d) The securing by the receiver from each of the associations entitled to disbursements pursuant to this section an agreement to return to the receiver assets previously disbursed that are required to pay claims of secured creditors and claims falling within the priorities established in RCW 48.31.280. A bond is not required of any association; and
(e) A full report by the association to the receiver accounting for all assets so disbursed to the association, all disbursements made therefrom, any interest earned by the association on those assets, and any other matters as the court may direct.
(3) The receiver's proposal must provide for disbursements to the associations in amounts estimated at least equal to the claim payments made or to be made thereby for which such associations could assert a claim against the receiver, and must further provide that if the assets available for disbursement from time to time do not equal or exceed the amount of the claim payments made or to be made by the associations then disbursements must be in the amount of available assets.
(4) The receiver's proposal shall, with respect to an insolvent insurer writing life insurance, disability insurance, or annuities, provide for disbursements of assets to the Washington life and disability insurance guaranty association or to any other entity or organization reinsuring, assuming, or guaranteeing policies or contracts of insurance under the provisions of the Washington life and disability insurance guaranty association act.
(5) Notice of an application must be given to the associations in and to the commissioners of insurance of each of the states. Notice is effected when deposited in the United States certified mails, first class postage prepaid, at least thirty days prior to submission of the application to the court.
