Greetings:
The TWIA Board of Directors will hold an interim meeting on March 22 at 1:30 p.m. CT to determine TWIA’s catastrophe funding and reinsurance needs for the 2022 hurricane season. The agenda for the meeting is available here. Meeting materials are available here.
The Board will review catastrophe model results provided by Aon. As required by state law, the Board will determine the level of catastrophe funding required to pay and adjust claims for a hurricane season with a probability of one in 100 (1:100 Probable Maximum Loss) and give direction to staff and reinsurance broker Gallagher Re regarding the purchase of reinsurance for the 2022 hurricane season to meet this required funding level.
