§ 125.15. Workers’ compensation liability.

 (a)  Notwithstanding the terms of a guarantee and assumption agreement executed under §  125.4(b)(relating to application for affiliates and subsidiaries), a self-insurer or a runoff self-insurer remains liable for workers’ compensation on injuries or disease exposures occurring during its period of self-insurance. With application to and permission from the Bureau, liability can be transferred to another employer. Liability may be transferred to a company authorized to write workers’ compensation insurance in this Commonwealth if the employer gives written notice to the Bureau within 10 days of the transfer.

 (b)  A self-insurer which liquidates or dissolves shall transfer its liability to a third party, subject to the approval of the Bureau, or shall insure its liability with a company authorized to write workers’ compensation insurance in this Commonwealth.

 (c)  If a self-insurer sells or divests a part of itself, self-insurance coverage ends for the separated parts on the date of separation. The self-insurer remains responsible for claims incurred against the separated part occurring up to the date of separation unless the Bureau approves an alternative arrangement for the payment of the self-insurer’s liability.
