Or. Admin. Code § 836-011-0310 - RBC Reports

(1) Each domestic insurer shall, on or prior to each March 1 (the "filing date"), prepare and submit to the Director 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, each domestic insurer shall file its RBC report:

(a) With the NAIC in accordance with the RBC instructions; and

(b) 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:

(A) 15 days from the receipt of notice to file its RBC report with that state; or

(B) The filing date.

(2) A life 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) the following, determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC instructions:

(a) The risk with respect to the insurer's assets;

(b) The risk of adverse insurance experience with respect to the insurer's liabilities and obligations;

(c) The interest rate risk with respect to the insurer's business; and

(d) All other business risks and such other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC instructions.

(3) 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) the following, determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC instructions:

(a) Asset risk;

(b) Credit risk;

(c) Underwriting risk; and

(d) All other business risks and such other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC instructions.

(4) An excess of capital over the amount produced by the risk-based capital requirements contained in OAR 836-011-0300 to 836-011-0390 and the formulas, schedules and instructions referenced in 836-011-0300 to 836-011-0390 is desirable in the business of insurance. Accordingly, insurers should seek to maintain capital above the RBC levels required by 836-011-0300 to 836-011-0390. additional capital is used and 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 836-011-0300 to 836-011-0390.

(5) If a domestic insurer files an RBC report that in the judgment of the Director is inaccurate, the Director 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 an "adjusted RBC report" for purposes of OAR 836-011-0300 to 836-011-0390.
