507C.56  Claims of residents against insurers domiciled in reciprocal states.
  1.  Promptly after the appointment of the commissioner as ancillary receiver for an insurer not domiciled in this state, the commissioner shall determine whether there are claimants residing in this state who are not protected by guaranty funds and whether the protection of such claimants requires the establishing of a claim filing procedure in the ancillary proceeding. If a claim filing procedure is established, claimants against the insurer who reside within this state may file claims either with the ancillary receiver in this state, or with the domiciliary liquidator. Claims shall be filed on or before the last dates fixed for the filing of claims in the domiciliary liquidation proceeding.
  2.  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 in this state, provided a claim filing procedure is established in the ancillary proceeding. If a claimant elects to prove the claim in this state, the claimant shall file the claim with the liquidator in the manner provided in sections 507C.35 and 507C.36. The ancillary receiver shall make a recommendation to the court as under section 507C.43. The ancillary receiver shall also arrange a date for hearing if necessary under section 507C.39 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. Within thirty days after the giving of the notice, if the domiciliary liquidator gives notice in writing either by certified mail or by personal service to the ancillary receiver and to the claimant of an intention to contest the claim, the domiciliary liquidator is entitled to appear or to be represented in a proceeding in this state involving the adjudication of the claim.
  3.  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.
