Cite as Conn. Agencies Regs. § 38a-72-2
(a) Every domestic insurer shall, on or prior to each March 1 (the "filing date"), prepare
and submit to the commissioner a report of its RBC Levels as of the end of the calendar
year just ended, in a form and containing such information as is required by the RBC
Instructions. In addition, every domestic insurer shall file its RBC Report:
(1) With the NAIC in accordance with the RBC Instructions; and
(2) With the insurance commissioner in any state in which the insurer is authorized to
do business, if the insurance commissioner has notified the insurer of its request
in writing, in which case the insurer shall file its RBC Report not later than the
later of: fifteen (15) days from the receipt of notice to file its RBC Report with
that state; or the filing date.
(b) A life and/or health insurer’s RBC shall be determined in accordance with the formula
set forth in the RBC Instructions. The formula shall take into account (and may adjust
for the covariance between):
(1) The risk with respect to the insurer’s assets;
(2) The risk of adverse insurance experience with respect to the insurer’s liabilities
and obligations;
(3) The interest rate risk with respect to the insurer’s business; and
(4) All other business risks and such other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC
instructions; determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth
in the RBC Instructions.
(c) A property and casualty insurer’s RBC shall be determined in accordance with the formula
set forth in the RBC Instructions. The formula shall take into account (and may adjust
for the covariance between): determined in each case by applying the factors in the
manner set forth in the RBC Instructions.
(1) Asset risk;
(2) Credit risk;
(3) Underwriting risk; and
(4) All other risks and such other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC Instructions;
determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC
Instructions.
(d) An excess of capital over the amount produced by the risk-based capital requirements
contained in sections 38a-72-1 to 38a-72-13, inclusive, and the formulas, schedules
and instructions referenced in said sections is desirable in the business of insurance.
Accordingly, insurers should seek to maintain capital above the RBC levels required
by sections 38a-72-1 to 38a-72-13, inclusive. Additional capital is used and is useful
in the insurance business and helps to secure an insurer against various risks inherent
in, or affecting, the business of insurance and not accounted for or only partially
measured by the risk-based capital requirements contained in sections 38a-72-1 to
38a-72-13, inclusive.
(e) If a domestic insurer files an RBC Report which in the judgment of the commissioner
is inaccurate, then the commissioner shall adjust the RBC Report to correct the inaccuracy
and shall notify the insurer of the adjustment. The notice shall contain a statement
of the reason for the adjustment. An RBC Report as so adjusted is referred to as an
"Adjusted RBC Report."
