The CSJVRMA retains the first $1,000,000 of coverage above each city's retained limit. The CSJVRMA pays each claim from first dollar and then allocates the amount the city is responsible for and the amount which is shared by the pooled layers through the retrospective adjustment process.

 Beginning July 1, 2000, the CSJVRMA elected to join the California Affiliated Risk Management Authorities (CARMA) for excess coverage. CARMA also provides coverage from $1,000,000 to $25,000,000. Effective July 1, 2007, for this coverage, CARMA participates with American Reinsurance and Colony National Insurance Company to reinsure a portion of the coverage. Currently, CARMA transfers the $20,000,000 excess of $5,000,000 layer, pools the layers of $4,000,000 excess of $1,000,000.
