How is Plan Funded
• Written Premiums
• Operating Budget developed annually by AIUA
Manager
• Board approves Operating Budget
• NOTE: AIUA operating expense (excluding reinsurance) is
under 20% and that includes the 3.6% premium tax AIUA
pays each year.

How are Losses paid?
• Earned Premiums
• Assessments from Member companies (Catastrophe
funding)
• Assessment based on Participation Percentage as
calculated by AIUA
• An Important Fact To Consider: The cost of assessments is borne
by the Member Company paying the assessment. Alabama does
not currently have a pass-through or recoupment mechanism
(unlike many other coastal wind pools).
• Reinsurance
