508D.8 Costs and assessments.
1. Costs of administration shall be recorded separately for each impaired or insolvent company and those costs shall be reimbursed from the assets of such company.
2. The board of directors of the facility shall assess the member guaranty associations at the time and for the amounts the board finds necessary to reimburse the facility for any additional costs not reimbursed from assets managed by the facility. Assessments made pursuant to this subsection shall be allocated among member guaranty associations pursuant to a formula adopted by the board and consistent with each individual guaranty association’s liability for the facility’s insurance business which is the subject of the assessment. An assessment is due not less than ninety days after prior written notice has been sent to the member guaranty association and accrues interest at ten percent per annum commencing on the due date.
3. The total of all assessments upon a member guaranty association shall not exceed in any one calendar year the limit set by the enabling legislation of the member guaranty association’s state of domicile for assessments against insurance companies. If a maximum assessment in any one year does not provide an amount sufficient to carry out the responsibilities of the facility, the necessary additional funds shall be assessed in succeeding years as soon as permitted by this chapter and by the enabling legislation of the member guaranty association’s state of domicile.
4. Notwithstanding subsection 3, the Iowa life and health insurance guaranty association shall levy additional assessments not to exceed one hundred dollars per company per year if necessary to fund organizational expenses of the facility.
