D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 26, r. 26-A4026
Whenever the assets of a domestic reciprocal insurer are insufficient to discharge its liabilities (other than any liability on account of funds contributed by the attorney or others) and to maintain the required surplus, its attorney shall forthwith make up the deficiency or levy an assessment upon the subscribers that have been issued assessable policies. Such assessment shall not be in excess of any limitation set forth in the power of attorney or the insurance policy issued to the subscriber by the reciprocal.
If the attorney fails to make up such deficiency or to make the assessment within 30 days after the Commissioner orders such attorney to do so or if the deficiency is not fully made up within 60 days after the date the assessment was made, the insurer shall be deemed insolvent and shall be proceeded against as authorized by Insurers Rehabilitation and Liquidation Act of 1993, effective October 15, 1993 (D.C. Law 10-35; D.C. Official Code § 31-1301et seq.).
If liquidation of such an insurer is ordered, an assessment shall be levied upon the subscribers that have been issued assessable policies for such an amount, subject to limits as provided by this act, as the Commissioner determines to be necessary to discharge all liabilities of the insurer, exclusive of any funds contributed by the attorney or other persons but including the reasonable cost of the liquidation.
