Idaho Admin. Code r. 18.07.06.002

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 18.07.06.002 - PURPOSE

Insurers routinely enter into reinsurance agreements that yield legitimate surplus relief to the ceding insurer. However, it is improper for a ceding insurer to enter into reinsurance agreements for the principal purpose of producing significant surplus aid, typically on a temporary basis, while not transferring all the significant risks inherent in the business being reinsured. In substance or effect, the expected potential liability to the ceding insurer remains basically unchanged by the reinsurance transaction, notwithstanding certain risk elements in the reinsurance agreement, such as catastrophic mortality or extraordinary survival. The terms of such agreements referred to herein and described in Section 011 of this rule violate Sections 41-1306, 41-515, 41-308(3), 41-327, and 41-3309, Idaho Code.
