(a) An irrevocable letter of credit authorized pursuant to 810:25-11-6 or required pursuant to 810:25-11-13 must be issued by a state or national chartered bank, whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The bank must be approved in advance by the Commission.

The letter of credit shall be made payable to the Commission. The Commission may make demand and collect on the posted letter of credit in whole or in part, in the case of actual or imminent default of the association to pay compensation liabilities, or the cancellation of the letter of credit without an adequate replacement.

(b) All letters of credit referenced in Subsection (a) of this Section, and any proceeds thereof collected upon demand, including any interest thereon, shall be maintained by the Commission as provided in the AWCA until each claim for workers' compensation benefits is paid, settled or lapses under the AWCA, and costs of administration of those claims are paid, or until otherwise released by the Commission.
