Investopedia explains 'Central Loss Fund'

A central loss fund is important to protect the interests of policyholders in the event an insurance company is unable to pay claims. The states' respective insurance commissioners are responsible for overseeing insurance companies and ensuring that they maintain adequate collateral to cover expected losses. However, widespread and unanticipated catastrophes may still arise which result in claims exceeded an insurance company's ability to pay.
