Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 8122. (1) Unless the court otherwise directs, the liquidator shall give or cause to be given notice of the liquidation order as soon as possible as follows:

(a) By first-class mail and either by telegram or telephone to the insurance commissioner of each jurisdiction in which the insurer is doing business.

(b) By first-class mail to each guaranty association or foreign guaranty association which is or may become obligated as a result of the liquidation.

(c) By first-class mail to all insurance agents of the insurer.

(d) By first-class mail to all persons known or reasonably expected to have claims against the insurer including all policyholders, at their last known address as indicated by the records of the insurer.

(e) By publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the insurer has its principal place of business and in other locations as the liquidator considers appropriate.

(2) Notice to potential claimants under subsection (1) shall require claimants to file with the liquidator their claims together with proper proofs as required under section 8136  1 on or before a date the liquidator shall specify in the notice. Although an earlier date may be set by the liquidator, the last day to file claims shall be not later than 18 months following the order of liquidation. The liquidator need not require persons claiming cash surrender values or other investment values in life insurance and annuities to file a claim. All claimants shall have a duty to keep the liquidator informed of any changes of address.

(3) If notice is given in accordance with this section, the distribution of assets of the insurer under this chapter shall be conclusive with respect to all claimants, whether or not they received notice.
