Historically, Sentinel Holdings Ltd. was the parent company of a group of five insurance companies that underwrote workers' compensation and a limited amount of group health insurance across the United States. On March 3, 2000, the California Department of Insurance seized the assets and operations of four California-domiciled insurance subsidiaries: Superior National Insurance Company (SNIC), Superior Pacific Casualty Company (SPCC), California Compensation Insurance Company (CalComp), and Combined Benefits Insurance Company (CBIC). On March 6, 2000, a California court granted permission to "conserve" these four companies due to insufficient assets to cover unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses. The fifth insurance company, Commercial Compensation Insurance Company (CCIC), domiciled in New York, was not seized or conserved on March 6, 2000.
