==BattleTable==
 
 
Based on past exams, the '''main things''' you need to know ''(in rough order of importance)'' are:
 
* <span style='color: green;'>'''calculate compensation'''</span> to policyholder after insurer goes insolvent
 
* calculate <u>assessment</u> on insurer ''(for funding of PACICC)''
 
* miscellaneous facts about PACICC: <u>purpose</u>, <u>procedures</u>, <u>trigger</u> for financial responsibility
 
 
Calculating PACICC compensation to the policyholder in the event of an insolvency was a popular question up through '''2015.Spring''', but not so much recently. ''Did the exam committee decided it wasn't important?'' Still, it's pretty easy. Don't skip it!

==In Plain English!==
 
 
===Intro and Basic Facts===
 
 
PACICC stands for Property and Casualty Insurance Compensation Corporation.
 
 
:{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
| The '''purpose''' of PACICC is to provide a reasonable level of '''policy holder recovery''' for claims & unearned premium AFTER an insurer becomes insolvent.
 
|}
 
 
This policyholder recovery 'plan' is administered by the non-profit PACICC. <u>Members</u> of PACICC include all participating insurers in a jursidiction, with some exceptions. ''('''Ex''': reinsurers.)'' Note that a <u>participating</u> insurer is simply a licensed insurer selling a class of business covered by PACICC. PACICC involvement is <u>triggered</u> by the issuance of a formal winding up order. This is all pretty easy, right! Just a couple of more basic facts before look at the actual calculations:
 
 
:{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
| '''Question''': identify the <u>types</u> of policies covered by PACICC
 
|}
 
 
:* <u>most</u> P&C policies are covered by PACICC ''(life insurance have their own similar plan so these are excluded)''
 
:* '''exclusions''':
 
::: - mandatory auto coverage sold in BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba <span style="color: red;">'''(added Feb 23, 2023)'''
 
::: - aircraft, credit, crop
 
::: - directors' and officers', employer's liability, certain errors and omissions <span style="color: green;">'''''(medical malpractice is <u>not</u> excluded)'''''</span>
 
::: - fidelity, financial guarantee, marine, mortgage, surety and title insurance
 
::: - auto insurance in MB & SK ''(auto insurance is provided by Crown Corporations, not private insurers)''
 
::: - BI in Quebec when covered by Société d'assurance automobile
 
 
This is a long list of exclusions and I don't think you need to memorize it. Virtually all of the old exam problems involve '''auto''' or '''property'''. If you read this list once or twice and just remember that most of the exclusions are ''unusual'' policy types you should be ok. Note that some types of auto policies <u>are</u> excluded however, namely mandatory auto coverage sold in BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
 
 
An exam question may try to trick you by asking you to calculate the compensation for an aircraft policy. You would have to remember that aircraft is an ''unusual'' policy that isn't covered by PACICC. The compensation would therefore be 0.

===Explanation of 2015.Spring #13===
 
 
There is only 1 other likely exam question on this topic:
 
 
* calculating policy holder recovery
 
 
And there is a good ''[https://battleactsmain.ca/vanillaforum/discussion/25/pacicc-compensation-2015-spring-13 forum discussion]'' on this particular question.

|| '''2021.Spring Update''': Change in coverage limits
 
|}
 
 
* Everything is the same except the coverage limits. Exam problems from 2020.Fall and prior use the old limits. ''(Technically, these problems are now outdated because of the new lmits, but the formulas are the same.)'' Beginning 2021.Spring, the limits listed below are in effect:
 
 
: &rarr; new limit for auto: '''$400,000''' ''(old limit was $250,000)''
 
: &rarr; new limit for HO: '''$500,000''' ''(old limit was $300,000)''
 
: &rarr; refunding of unearned premium: '''70% x $2,500''' ''(old limit was 70% x $1,000)
 
 
As you look at these old exam problems, keep these new limits in mind.
 
 
Let's look at: [https://www.battleactsmain.ca/pdf/Exam_(2015_1-Spring)/(2015_1-Spring)_(13).pdf <span style='font-size: 12px; background-color: yellow; border: solid; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 5px; padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px; margin: 5px;'>E</span>] <span style="color: red;">'''(2015.Spring #13)'''</span> ''(Note that the examiner's report provides 2 acceptable solutions. This is discussed in the forum [https://www.battleactsmain.ca/vanillaforum/discussion/25/pacicc-compensation-2015-spring-13 here].)''
 
 
Given:
 
 
:{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
| '''unearned premium:''' || style="text-align: right" | 500
 
|-
 
| '''claim:'''            || style="text-align: right" | 400,000
 
|-
 
| '''deductible: '''      || style="text-align: right" | 1,000
 
|-
 
| '''distribution from InsR:''' || style="text-align: right" | 350,000
 
|}
 
 
The basic formula is easy enough:
 
 
:{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
| '''recovery''' = (unearned premium component) + (indemnity component)
 
|}
 
 
: Now,
 
 
:: '''unearned premium component = ''' 70% x min(1000, unearned premium) = 70% x min(1000, 500) '''= <u>350</u>'''
 
 
: and,
 
 
:: '''indemnity component = ''' min( loss - distribution - deductible, 300000 ) = min( 400000 - 350000 - 1000, 300000) '''= <u>49,000</u>'''
 
 
Therefore,
 
 
: {| class="wikitable"
 
|- style="background-color: lightgreen;"
 
| '''recovery =''' 350 + 49,000 '''= 49,350'''
 
|}
 
 
====Complications to the Calculation====
 
 
The value of 300,000 used in the formula for the indemnity component '''depends on''' whether the insurance policy is personal property or auto.
 
 
: '''auto:''' use 250,000
 
: '''personal property:''' use 300,000
 
 
Also, the unearned premium is not always given. You may have to calculate the unearned premium based on the policy inception date and the insurer's insolvency date.
 
 
====Distributions====
 
 
The term ''distribution'' arises from time to time. This is what it means:
 
 
* In the indemnity formula, ''distribution'' refers to money the policyholder received from the insurer. In '''2015.Spring #13''', the policyholder received a distribution of 350,000 from their insurer for their claim of 400,000. Since the policyholder still had money owed to them, they may receive another distribution ''(possibly from the liquidator of their insolvent insurer after the company is liquidated.)''
 
 
* There is also an example in the source text discussing '''distribution from a liquidator'''. Here the policyholder received 250,000 of their 300,000 claim directly from PACICC. Now, PACICC doesn't have its own money and must recover this 250,000 from liquidating the insolvent insurer ''(or the other insurers that are still solvent, or the compensation fund)'' before the policyholder gets any more money.
 
:: '''Case 1''': If the liquidator makes a distribution of 150,000 ''(which just means the liquidator gives 150,000 to PACICC)'' then the insured <u>wouldn't</u> get any of it because that 150,000 doesn't cover the original 250,000.
 
:: '''Case 2''': If the liquidator makes a distribution of 275,000 to PACICC ''(gives 275,000 to PACICC)'' then the original 250,000 is covered and the policyholder <u>would</u> receive the leftover 25,000. The policyholder would still be 25,000 short and whether they get this back depend on whether PACICC gets any more money from its funding sources.

===Funding and Assessment===
 
 
Here is a question that has appeared on more than 1 exam:
 
 
:{| class='wikitable'
 
|-
 
|| '''Question''': identify funding mechanisms for PACICC [Hint: <span style="color: red;">'''AC-3'''</span>]
 
|}
 
 
:: <s><span style="color: red;">'''L'''</span>'''iquidation''' of the insolvent insurer's assets</s> <span style="color: red;">'''&larr; The CAS no longer accepts this answer.'''</span> See ''[https://www.battleactsmain.ca/vanillaforum/discussion/1089/2019-fall-q10b#latest this forum post]'' for further details.
 
:: <span style="color: red;">'''A'''</span>'''ssessment''' of participating insurers
 
:: <span style="color: red;">'''C'''</span>'''ompensation''' fund &ndash; borrow money from this fund ''(pre-insolvency funding)''
 
:: <span style="color: red;">'''-'''</span>
 
:: <span style="color: red;">'''3'''</span>'''rd''' party recovery
 
 
That question appeared as part (c) on the following exam, and the examiner's report listed the first 3 answers above:
 
 
: [https://www.battleactsmain.ca/pdf/Exam_(2019_1-Spring)/(2019_1-Spring)_(12)_v2.pdf <span style='font-size: 12px; background-color: yellow; border: solid; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 5px; padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px; margin: 5px;'>E</span>] <span style="color: red;">'''(2019.Spring #12 - part c)'''</span>
 
 
Unfortunately, this is another repeat exam question where the examiner's report from one year provides a different answer from another year. In particular, the examiner's report answer for part (b) of the following very similar exam question was somewhat different:
 
 
: [https://www.battleactsmain.ca/pdf/Exam_(2019_2-Fall)/(2019_2-Fall)_(10).pdf <span style='font-size: 12px; background-color: yellow; border: solid; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 5px; padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px; margin: 5px;'>E</span>] <span style="color: red;">'''(2019.Fall #10 - part b)'''</span>
 
 
You could argue that the '''2019.Fall''' question asked for more details than just sources of funding, but I still don't think it was very clear. If I had been answering that question, I probably would also have quoted the assessment formula ''(and the assessment limit of 1.5% x DWP <u>of</u> each insurer):
 
 
: '''A = B x (C/D)'''
 
 
where
 
 
: A = insurer assessment
 
: B = total amount assessed by PACICC = (amount advanced by PACICC) minus (amount recovered)
 
: C = DWP of insurer
 
: D = total DWP of all assessed insurers
 
 
This calculation must be done <u>separately by jurisdiction</u>. Anyway, take a look at the examiner's report answer. The details are all included in various BattleCards in quizzes 3 & 4 below.
 
 
[https://battleactsmain.ca/FC.php?selectString=**&filter=both&sortOrder=natural&colorFlag=allFlag&colorStatus=allStatus&priority=importance-high&subsetFlag=miniQuiz&prefix=PACICC&suffix=Comp&section=all&subSection=all&examRep=all&examYear=all&examTerm=all&quizNum=3<span style="font-size: 20px; background-color: aqua; border: solid; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 10px; padding: 2px 10px 2px 10px; margin: 10px;">'''mini BattleQuiz 3]'''</span> <span style="color: red;">'''You must be <u>logged in</u> or this will not work.''' </span>
 
 
Regarding the funding mechanism of '''assessment:''' The assessment applies only to licensed, participating insurers in the jurisdiction where the insolvency occurred. There are also '''limits''' on the amount PACICC can assess and insurer, and limits on how much of the assessment the insurer would actually have to pay.
