The document outlines the terms of a Fully-Insured Participating Funding Arrangement, where the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) pays the Contractor's premiums, while the Contractor manages covered claims and expenses. At the end of each policy year, an annual settlement will assess whether the account resulted in a surplus (margin) or shortfall (deficit). If the claims and expenses are lower than the paid premiums, the surplus will be held in a Premium Stabilization Reserve (PSR), which accrues interest and can be utilized to reduce future premium costs or offset deficits. Conversely, deficits, if incurred, are carried forward and can only be recovered through future margins. Regular reporting of claims experience allows for informed management and reduction of unexpected outcomes at the year-end settlement. This arrangement serves to balance the financial responsibilities between the OCC and the Contractor, ensuring fiscal accountability and risk management within federal funding frameworks.
