§ 125.15. Workers’ compensation liability.
(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.
