Ohio § 3903.56

§ 3903.56.

(A) In a liquidation proceeding in a reciprocal state against an insurer domiciled in

that state, claimants against the insurer who reside within this state may file claims

either with the ancillary receiver, if any, in this state, or with the domiciliary

liquidator.  Claims must be filed on or before the last dates fixed for the filing of claims

in the domiciliary liquidation proceeding. (B) Claims belonging to claimants residing in this state may be proved either in the

domiciliary state under the law of that state, or in ancillary proceedings, if any,

in this state.  If a claimant elects to prove the claimant's claim in this state, the claimant shall

file the claim with the liquidator in the manner provided in sections 3903.35 and 3903.36 of the Revised Code .  The ancillary receiver shall make a recommendation to the court as under section 3903.43 of the Revised Code . The ancillary receiver shall also arrange a date for hearing if necessary under section 3903.39 of the Revised Code and shall give notice to the liquidator in the domiciliary state, either by certified

mail or by personal service at least forty days prior to the date set for hearing.  If the domiciliary liquidator, within thirty days after the giving of such notice,

gives notice in writing to the ancillary receiver and to the claimant, either by certified

mail or by personal service, of the domiciliary liquidator's intention to contest

the claim, the domiciliary liquidator shall be entitled to appear or to be represented

in any proceeding in this state involving the adjudication of the claim. (C) The final allowance of the claim by the courts of this state shall be accepted as

conclusive as to amount and as to priority against special deposits or other security

located in this state.
