Ins 3.09(14)(c) (c) The contingency reserve established by this subsection shall be maintained for 120 months. That portion of the contingency reserve established and maintained for more than 120 months shall be released and shall no longer constitute part of the contingency reserve.

Ins 3.09(14)(d) (d)

Ins 3.09(14)(d)1. 1. With the approval of the commissioner, withdrawals may be made from the contingency reserve when incurred losses and incurred loss expenses exceed the greater of either 35% of the net earned premium or 70% of the amount which par.

Ins 3.09(14)(d)2. 2. On a quarterly basis, provisional withdrawals may be made from the contingency reserve in an amount not to exceed 75% of the withdrawal calculated in accordance with subd. 1.

Ins 3.09(14)(e) (e) With the approval of the commissioner, a mortgage guaranty insurer may withdraw from the contingency reserve any amounts which are in excess of the minimum policyholders position.

Ins 3.09(15) (15) Loss reserves.

Ins 3.09(15)(a) (a) Subject to sub. (8), a mortgage guaranty insurer shall compute and maintain adequate loss reserves. The methodology used for computing the loss reserves shall accurately reflect loss frequency and loss severity and shall include components for claims reported and unpaid and for claims incurred but not reported.

Ins 3.09(15)(b) (b) A mortgage guaranty insurer shall compute and maintain adequate case basis loss reserves which are based on an estimate of the liability for claims on individual insured loans in various stages of default as listed below. Case basis loss reserves may be calculated on either an individual case basis or a formula basis. Case basis loss reserves shall be established for individual insured loans or leases which:

Ins 3.09(15)(b)1. 1. Are in default and have resulted in the collateral real estate being acquired by the insured, the insurer, or the agent of either, and remaining unsold; or

Ins 3.09(15)(b)2. 2. Are in the process of foreclosure; or

Ins 3.09(15)(b)3. 3. Are in default and the insurer has received notification.

Ins 3.09(15)(c) (c) In computing the potential liability for which case basis reserves are required by par. (b), the following factors shall be considered together with the prospective adjustments reflecting historic data relative to prior claim settlements:

Ins 3.09(15)(c)1. 1. Prior to the exercise of the claim settlement option, the potential liability shall be either the amount at risk calculated using the coverage settlement option or the potential claim amount minus the value of the real estate.

Ins 3.09(15)(c)2. 2. If the claim settlement option exercised results in recording the claim amount as the cost of acquisition of the property, the potential liability is the claim amount minus the lesser of the market value of the real estate or the acquisition cost of the real estate.

Ins 3.09(15)(c)3. 3. If the claim settlement option exercised results in the payment of amounts equal to the monthly loan payments or lease rents, the potential liability is the present value, utilizing the insurer’s National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) financial ratio-investment yield, of the claim amounts minus the present value of either the real estate or the rental income stream.

Ins 3.09(15)(d) (d) A mortgage guaranty insurer shall compute and maintain a loss adjustment expense reserve which is based on an estimate of the cost of adjusting and settling claims on insured loans in default.
