Claims for payment from the fund that become final during the last six (6) months of the calendar year must be computed on December 31 and must be paid not later than the following January 15.
(b) If the balance in the fund is insufficient to pay in full all claims that have become final during a six (6) month period, the amount paid to each claimant must be prorated.
