incidental to the employee's regular employment and duties in the State of California <br />However, if the Covered Member is not a duly qualified self -insurer at the time of the occurrence, the Authority will <br />reimburse the Covered Member only for amounts that would have been paid had the Covered Member been a duly <br />qualified self -insurer and the Authority will not pay or reimburse for any penalties, costs, expenses, or other <br />amounts due to or arising from the failure to maintain good standing as a duly qualified self -insurer. <br />The indemnity afforded by this Memorandum shall also apply to loss paid by the Covered Member because of any <br />compensation, benefits, or liability paid by the Covered Member under (a) the Longshoremen's and Harbor <br />Workers' <br />Compensation Act (33 USC Sections 901-950), as may be amended, or (b) the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, also <br />known as the Jones Act (46 U.S. Code, Section 30104), as may be amended; however, only if such liability is <br />incidental to the employee's regular employment and duties in the State of California. <br />The Authority's liability includes "bodily injury" to the master and members of the crew of a vessel, provided the <br />"bodily injury" occurred in the territorial limits of, or the operation of a vessel sailing directly between the ports of <br />the Continental United States of America, Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada. <br />Coverage under this Memorandum will be provided in accordance with the benefits, requirements, limitations, and <br />other provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act and this Memorandum will be implemented, administered, and <br />construed pursuant to the Workers' Compensation Act. If there is a conflict between this Memorandum and the Act, <br />the Act will govern. <br />PART THREE — EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY COVERAGE <br />The Authority will reimburse the Covered Member for loss resulting from an occurrence during the Coverage Period <br />because of the Covered Member's legal liability for damages arising out of bodily injury or occupational disease <br />sustained by employees normally employed in the State of California. <br />PART FOUR— THE COVERED MEMBER'S RETENTION AND AUTHORITY'S LIMIT OF LIABILITY <br />A. The Covered Member's Retention <br />The Covered Member shall pay from its own account for an occurrence up to the amount stated in Item 3.a. <br />of the Declarations Page as the Covered Member's Retained Limit. <br />If, as a result of an occurrence that is a single accident, incident or exposure, employees from two or more <br />Covered Members incur bodily injury, illness, or disease, then the Retained Limits of the involved Covered <br />Members will be adjusted as provided in this provision. Initially, each Covered Member's stated Retained <br />Limit (i.e., the amount stated in the Declarations Page) will be applied to the calculation of the Authority's <br />payment of reimbursement under this Memorandum for the Covered Member's losses paid as a result of <br />the multiple -Covered Member accident, incident or exposure. Five years after the end of the program year <br />in which the accident, incident or exposure occurred, the Authority will undertake the following <br />adjustment: (1) calculate the total amount of the losses paid over that period for all Covered Members and <br />employees involved in the multiple -Covered Member accident, incident or exposure; (2) calculate each <br />involved Covered Member's percentage share (based on the losses paid for the Covered Member's <br />involved employee or employees) of the total losses paid; (3) multiply each involved Covered Member's <br />percentage share of the total incurred losses times its stated Retained Limit; (4) use and apply the amount <br />determined under step 3 as the Covered Member's adjusted Retained Limit for purposes of determining the <br />Authority reimbursement for the losses paid for the multiple -Covered Member accident, incident or <br />exposure; (5) calculate the amount of the Authority's payment of reimbursement, if any, to each involved <br />Covered Member based on the adjusted Retained Limit of the Covered Member; and (6) if applicable, pay <br />reimbursement or additional reimbursement to the involved Covered Member based on the adjusted <br />Retained Limit. If losses for the multiple -Covered Member accident, incident or exposure remain payable <br />after the five year period, the adjusted Retained Limits for the involved Covered Members will continue to <br />apply to the calculation of Authority reimbursement until the employees' claims are closed and the <br />Memorandum of Coverage Page 4 Effective July I, 2019 <br />
