self-insurer during the preceding calendar year on claims that |

self-insurer was self-insured. |

outstanding obligations of all insolvent self-insurers have |
been satisfied and the costs of administration and defense |
have been paid, such amounts shall be returned by the |
Commission from the Fund as directed by the Board to the then |

the Fund. |
