(a) When the property and business of a member, other than a special member, is being liquidated, the commissioner may direct Guaranty Corporation to pay each thrift obligation of the member specified in Section 18523 up to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). Guaranty Corporation shall pay the thrift obligations at the direction of, and in the amounts directed by, the commissioner within 10 days from the date the commissioner makes demand for payment under this section. If the total funds available from Guaranty Corporation at that time are insufficient to pay in full the amounts provided by Section 18523, the amount paid to each thriftholder shall be ratably reduced in proportion to the amount by which the fund is deficient, and thereafter further payments shall be made ratably to those thriftholders in accordance with the directions of the commissioner as additional funds become available to Guaranty Corporation. (b) When any thrift obligation is paid up to the guaranteed amount as provided in subdivision (a), Guaranty Corporation shall be assigned all rights, title, and interest to each individual thrift obligation up to the amount paid by Guaranty Corporation to each individual thriftholder. (c) Guaranty Corporation shall first receive ratable liquidation proceeds up to the amount paid by Guaranty Corporation to a thriftholder prior to any payment of liquidation proceeds to a thriftholder whose account was in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). (d) Each member’s account and each special member’s account shall be reduced ratably based on the account balance for the total amount paid pursuant to subdivision (a). Liquidation proceeds paid to Guaranty Corporation pursuant to subdivision (c) shall ratably increase each member and special member account based on the account balance for the total amount paid pursuant to subdivision (a).
