The market interest rate shall be the average rate earned by the SBA for the FHCF for the first five months of the Contract Year. All interest charged will commence on the date the SBA issues a check for an advance and will cease at midnight on the date upon which the FHCF has received the Company's Proof of Loss Report for the Covered Event for which the advance was issued qualifying the Company for reimbursement equal to or exceeding the amount(s) of the advance(s). If it is determined that the Company received funds in excess of those to which it was entitled, the interest as to those sums will not cease on the date of the receipt of the Proof of Loss Report but will continue until the Company reimburses the FHCF for the overpayment. The Company's final reimbursement shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the advance(s) and the interest thereon. The specific type of advances enumerated in the Statute follow. 1. Advances to Companies to prevent insolvency. a. Section 215.555(4)(e)1., Florida Statutes, provides that the SBA shall advance to the Company amounts necessary to maintain the solvency of the Company, up to 50 percent of the SBA's estimate of the reimbursement due to the Company. In determining insolvency for this advance, a Company will be considered insolvent if it is unable to pay its policyholders for justifiable claims. b. The requirements for an advance to a Company to prevent insolvency are that the Company demonstrates that it is likely to qualify for reimbursement, that the Company demonstrates that the immediate receipt of moneys from the SBA is likely to prevent the Company from becoming insolvent, and that the Company provides the information in (4)(b) below to aid in the SBA's determination to grant an advance. c. The SBA's final decision regarding an application for an advance to prevent insolvency shall be based on whether or not, considering the totality of the circumstances, including the SBA's obligations to provide reimbursement for all Covered Events occurring during the Contract Year, granting an advance is essential to allowing the entity to continue to pay additional claims for a Covered Event in a timely manner. 2. Advances to entities created pursuant to Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes. a. Section 215.555(4)(e)2., Florida Statutes, provides that the SBA may advance to an entity created pursuant to Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes, up to 90% of the lesser of the SBA's estimate of the reimbursement due or the entity's share of the actual aggregate Reimbursement Premium for that Contract Year, multiplied by the current available liquid assets of the FHCF. b. The requirements for an advance to entities created pursuant to Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes are that the entity must demonstrate to the SBA that the advance is essential to allow the entity to pay claims for a Covered Event and that the entity provides the information in (4)(b) below to aid in the SBA's determination to grant an advance. c. The SBA must determine that its assets are sufficient and sufficiently liquid to fulfill its obligations to other Companies under the Contract prior to granting an advance. 3. Advances to limited apportionment companies. a. Section 215.555(4)(e)3., Florida Statutes, provides that the SBA may advance the amount of estimated reimbursement payable to limited apportionment companies.
