Search the FAQ for entries containing:Rehabilitation is a proceeding whereby an insurance regulator, with court approval, takes control of a troubled insurer in order to protect the interests of policyholders, creditors, and the public by maximizing claims paying resources, providing a fair and orderly payment procedure, and taking actions to reform and revitalize the insurer. Unlike a bankruptcy reorganization, a rehabilitation is government action intended to establish a durable solution for policyholders.
Here, OCI has taken control of the management of the Segregated Account of AAC, not AAC as a whole. Certain AAC policies and other liabilities were allocated to Segregated Account prior to rehabilitation, which OCI will administer under the orders of the rehabilitation court.
