Sec. 8. After the agency has determined that a grain buyer or warehouse has defaulted payment or failed, the board shall have the following duties:
(1) Determine the valid claims and the amount of such claims to be paid to claimants for financial losses that were incurred due to the failure of a grain buyer or warehouse operator.
(2) Authorize payment of money from the fund when necessary for the purpose of compensating claimants in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(3) Collect money through subrogated claims against bonds filed under IC 26-3-7 in the place of claimants who collected for a loss incurred due to a warehouse or grain buyer failure.
(4) Borrow money as authorized under IC 26-4-3-9 if the fund has insufficient money to cover approved claims.
(5) Deposit into the fund any remaining grain assets of a failed grain buyer or warehouse operator for the purpose of repayment to the fund the money used to pay claimants, subject to any priority lien right a holder of a mortgage, security interest, or other encumbrance may possess under any other applicable law. Any repayment into the fund may not exceed the principal amount paid to claimants plus interest at the rate paid on ninety (90) day United States Treasury bills.
(6) If the amount in the fund is insufficient to pay all approved claims in accordance with this chapter and the board is unable to borrow funds for whatever reason, authorize payment of all the approved claims on a pro rata basis.
