Section 5510 - Benefit fund(a) Every association shall deposit in a bank or trust company approved by the Commissioner a sum not less than 50% of all dues collected by the association or by any agent thereof on all certificates of membership. This shall constitute a benefit fund for the sole purpose of payment of claims arising under certificates of membership, for the payments to the guaranty fund maintained with the Commissioner and for the payment of legal expenses incurred in adjusting and defending claims.(b) If after an examination of the financial affairs of the association the Commissioner determines that 50% of all dues collected is insufficient to properly maintain the benefit fund, the Commissioner may require the association to deposit a larger percentage of its dues to the credit of the benefit fund.18 Del.
