Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
(a) Notwithstanding the terms of a guarantee and assumption agreement executed under § 125.4(b) (relating to application for affiliates and subsidiaries), a self-insurer or a runoff self-insurer remains liable for workers' compensation on injuries or disease exposures occurring during its period of self-insurance. With application to and permission from the Bureau, liability can be transferred to another employer. Liability also may be transferred through a self-insurance loss portfolio transfer policy.
(b) A self-insurer which liquidates or dissolves shall transfer its liability to a third party, subject to the approval of the Bureau, or shall obtain a self-insurance loss portfolio transfer policy covering the liability.
(c) If a self-insurer sells or divests a part of itself, self-insurance coverage ends for the separated parts on the date of separation. The self-insurer remains liable for claims incurred against the separated part occurring up to the date of separation unless the Bureau approves a request to transfer the self-insurer's liability to another entity.
The provisions of this §125.15 amended under sections 305(a) and 435(a) of the Workers' Compensation Act (77 P. S. §§ 501 and 991(a)) and section 2205 of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 565).
