9 coverage.

10  (c) The premium charged for residential, commercial or

12 Fund. The loss covered shall be the loss in excess of any

16 damage stated in the policy; however, for all policies issued

17 or renewed on or after January 1, 2027, there shall be no

18 deductible or retention applicable to mine subsidence damage.

19 For all policies issued or renewed on or after the effective

11 level set for that coverage by the Fund. If mine subsidence

12 coverage is in force when the mine subsidence damage first

13 becomes reasonably observable, and the mine subsidence

14 occurrence is still ongoing, then the insurer shall notify the

1 unit, or commercial building subsequent to the established

2 date of loss shall be refunded to the insured within 60 days

3 after the insured provides a signed waiver of mine subsidence

4 coverage to the insurer. The notification shall be accompanied

5 by a waiver of coverage form for the insured to sign and return

6 to the insurer.

6 commercial coverage shall be charged to the Commercial Fund.

7 The Fund's overhead expenses shall be allocated between the

8 Residential Fund and the Commercial Fund on the basis of

9 annual written premium credited to each sub-fund. The assets

10 and liabilities of the Residential and Commercial Funds shall

11 be accounted for separately. The assets of the Residential

12 Fund shall not be used to reimburse insurers for losses for

13 Commercial Coverage and the assets of the Commercial Fund

14 shall not be used to reimburse insurers for losses for

15 residential coverage or living unit coverage.

16  (b) No insurer shall be required to pay any claim for any

19 Fund, as the case may be, is sufficient to reimburse the

20 insurer for such payment.
