Delaware Code
Chapter 4. Workers’ Compensation Self-insurance Groups
§ 405. Certificate of authority; termination.

(a) The certificate of authority issued by the Commissioner to a workers' compensation self-insurance group authorizes the group to provide workers' compensation benefits and employer's liability coverage. The certificate of authority remains in effect until terminated at the request of the group or revoked by the Commissioner, pursuant to § 423 of this title.
(b) The Commissioner shall not grant the request of any group to terminate its certificate of authority unless the group has insured or reinsured all incurred workers' compensation obligations with an authorized insurer under an agreement filed with and approved in writing by the Commissioner. Such obligations shall include both known claims and expenses associated therewith and claims incurred but not reported and expenses associated therewith.
Subject to the approval of the Commissioner, a group may merge with another group engaged in the same or similar type of business only if the resulting group assumes in full all obligations of the merging groups. The Commissioner may hold a hearing on the merger and shall do so if any party, including a member of either group, so requests.
