Claims against foreign insurers
Official statutory text
A. In a delinquency proceeding in a reciprocal state against an
insurer domiciled in that state, claimants against such 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. All such claims must be filed on or before the last date
fixed for the filing of claims in the domiciliary delinquency
proceedings.
B. Controverted claims belonging to claimants residing in this
state may either (1) be proved in the domiciliary state as provided
by the law of that state, or (2) if ancillary proceedings have been
commenced in this state, be approved in those proceedings. In the
event that any such claimant elects to prove his claim in this
state, he shall file his claim with the ancillary receiver and shall
give notice in writing to the receiver in the domiciliary state,
either by registered mail or by personal service at least forty days
prior to the date set for hearing. 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
such notice shall give notice in writing to the ancillary receiver
and to the claimant, either by registered mail or by personal
service, of his intention to contest such claim, he shall be
entitled to appear or to be represented in any proceeding in this
state involving adjudication of the claim. 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.
