1. “Good Funds Law”
Section 23413.1 et seq. of the California Insurance Code
The practices under the ‘Good Funds Law’ will remain substantially the same except that the date of
disbursing funds is now specifically governed by statue.
The law reenacts the requirements that checks be deposited prior to disbursement. In addition, the
actual day we disburse funds is governed by the type of funds we have deposited into our account.
We intend to follow the disbursement schedule of the “Good Funds Law” and the guidelines set forth by
our underwriters. We will be able to do the following...
1. Disburse-funds the same day as our deposit, if we received:
04
• Wired funds (we must verify receipt by our bank).
Good Funds Law
2. Disburse-funds the next day following the day of deposit if we received:
• Cashier’s checks
• Certified checks
• We can draw on these checks the next day even if from out of state, but we
will require the bank’s phone number to verify issuance of the check.
3. Disburse funds 2-8 days after the date of deposit if we received:
• A personal check from any source.
