LIMITATION ON REIMBURSEMENT BY MEMBER FOR DEFICIT RECOUPMENT

(a) An association member is not obligated in a single year to reimburse the association for the member's proportionate share of the deficits from the association's operations in that year in an amount that exceeds one percent of the member's policyholder surplus. The aggregate amount not reimbursed in accordance with this subsection shall be reallocated among the other association members. The association shall reallocate that amount in accordance with the method of determining a member's participation under Sections 2203.055(c) and (d), after excluding the total net direct premiums of all members not sharing in the excess deficits. (b) If the deficits from the association's operations allocated to all association members in a calendar year exceed one percent of all members' respective policyholder surplus, the association shall allocate to each member the amount of the deficits in accordance with the method of determining a member's participation under Sections 2203.055(c) and (d).
