OPINION
Justice BAER.This matter arises out of the liquidation proceedings of Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”), where one of Reliance’s policyholders, Warrantech Consumer Products Services, Inc. et al. (“Warran-tech”), submitted various proofs of claim seeking reimbursement under two insurance policies in which Reliance agreed to indemnify Warrantech for all future liabilities arising under certain warranty/serviee contracts Warrantech entered during the applicable policy period. The Commonwealth Court denied Warrantech’s claims, holding that 40 P.S. § 221.21 of the Insurance Department Act1 applies to terminate coverage for all “risks in effect” under a policy of insurance no later than thirty days after the respective insurer enters liquidation, notwithstanding that the relevant policies of insurance were can-celled prior to the date of liquidation. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the order of the Commonwealth Court.
Warrantech is a company that markets and administers extended warranties and service contracts for vehicles, consumer products, and homes. Under the language of these warranty/service contracts (hereinafter “service contracts”), Warrantech agrees to pay for repairs in the event that a customer experiences a product “breakdown” and makes a claim.2 Absent a claim arising from a breakdown, Warrantech has no contractual obligation to compensate for the service and repair of customer products.
Various states, excluding Pennsylvania, require companies like Warrantech to purchase service contract reimbursement insurance policies on the service contracts they sell.3 As Warrantech offered its ser*349vice contracts nationwide, in 1999 and 2000, it purchased from Reliance, a Pennsylvania corporation, service contract reimbursement insurance requiring Reliance to reimburse Warrantech for all sums that Warrantech became legally obligated to pay under the service contracts that War-rantech issued while the respective Reliance insurance policies remained in effect (hereinafter the “Reliance Policies”).4 Warrantech paid Reliance approximately $30 million in premiums for these two policies. Brief of Objector at 14.
Pursuant to a provision in the Reliance Policies entitled “Effect of Cancellation,” Reliance further agreed to indemnify Warrantech for its obligations under the service contracts issued during the respective policy periods even after cancellation of the Reliance Policies.5 Thus, when Warrantech cancelled coverage after 2000, Reliance remained obligated to reimburse Warrantech for consumer claims arising under all service contracts issued by War-rantech in 1999 and 2000.6
On October 3, 2001, the Commonwealth Court placed Reliance in liquidation. Invoking 40 P.S. § 221.21, the court designated November 2, 2001 as the statutory cancellation of coverage date for all Reliance insurance policies.7 Accordingly, Reliance stopped reimbursing Warrantech for consumer claims arising under the service contracts and insured by the Reliance Policies as of November 2, 2001 (thirty days after Reliance entered liquidation). War-rantech, in turn, assumed responsibility for *350paying claims that would have been paid by a “claims account” funded by Reliance, had it remained solvent.
Warrantech submitted various proofs of claim in the Reliance liquidation proceedings, seeking, inter alia, reimbursement for sums that Warrantech paid on service contracts as a result of claims arising from product breakdowns occurring after November 2, 2001 (the “Cancellation Issue”). Warrantech also sought reimbursement for sums it paid out on certain service contract claims that Reliance approved but never reimbursed Warrantech for because these payouts were supposedly offset by monies that Warrantech received from various state guaranty associations (the “Offset Issue”).
The Insurance Commissioner, acting as Liquidator, initially assigned Warrantech’s claims against the estate of Reliance a priority level of (e). See 40 P.S. § 221.44.8 Warrantech objected, urging that its claims should receive the higher priority level of (b). On September 27, 2010, the Commonwealth Court sustained Warran-tech’s objections and remanded for valuation of its claims.
Following remand, the Liquidator issued Notices of Determination (NODs), assigning a zero value to each of Warrantech’s proofs of claim against the estate of Reliance.9 With regard to the Cancellation Issue, the Liquidator concluded that Section 221.21 rendered Warrantech’s claims valueless as they were for losses that occurred after the statutory cancellation of coverage date, November 2, 2001. War-rantech objected to the Liquidator’s NODs assigning a zero value to its claims, and the Commonwealth Court appointed a referee to review the case. The referee issued a report and recommendation concluding, inter alia, that with respect to the Cancellation Issue, the Liquidator appropriately valued Warrantech’s claim against the estate of Reliance at zero. The referee further recommended that the Commonwealth Court value Warrantech’s claim against Reliance regarding the Offset Issue at $700,194.
On May 30, 2013, Warrantech timely filed an exception to the referee’s report and recommendation with respect to the Cancellation Issue, contending that, notwithstanding Section 221.21, its claims for reimbursement of sums that it paid on service contracts after November 2, 2001 should be valued at $11,900,499.10
In a single judge memorandum decision, the Commonwealth Court adopted the referee’s recommendations in whole. The court agreed with the referee that Section 221.21 operates to relieve Reliance of all liability to indemnify Warrantech under the service contracts for claims arising from product breakdowns that occurred after November 2, 2001. The court observed that based on the plain language of Section 221.21 (see supra note 7), all insurance policies with “risks in effect” at the time a liquidation order is issued are subject to the statutory provision, and that coverage under these policies continues *351for, at most, a period of thirty days following entry of liquidation. The court reasoned that Section 221.21 applies to the Reliance Policies because, pursuant to the cancellation of coverage provision, Reliance remained at risk for liability. The court concluded that the “risks in effect” at the time of Reliance’s liquidation consisted of the possibility that Warrantech would pay for a claim arising from a product breakdown under one if its service contracts issued in either 1999 or 2000, which, in turn, would trigger Reliance’s obligation to indemnify Warrantech for the sums paid.
Accordingly, the Commonwealth Court overruled Warrantech’s exception, and held that the Liquidator properly valued Warrantech’s claim against the Reliance estate with respect to the Cancellation Issue at zero.11 Warrantech timely appealed the Commonwealth Court’s memorandum decision, raising the following issue:
Whether the Commonwealth Court misinterpreted contractual liability insurance policies and a section of the Pennsylvania insurance insolvency statute (40 P.S. § 221.21) (the “Continuance of Coverage Provision”) in overruling War-rantech’s objections to Notices of Determination (“NODs”) issued by the Liquidator of Reliance Insurance Company (“Liquidator”), which allocated no value to consumer claims if they were made after November 2, 2001.
Brief of Objector at 4-5.
Warrantech’s appeal presents this Court with an issue of first impression, namely the proper construction of 40 P.S. § 221.21. Warrantech contends that the Commonwealth Court misapplied Section 221.21 when it assigned a zero value to Warrantech’s claims against the Reliance estate for reimbursement of sums that it paid under service contracts as a result of claims arising from product breakdowns that occurred after November 2, 2001. Warrantech avers that Section 221.21 does not relieve Reliance of its obligations under the Reliance Policies, and that its claims against the estate of Reliance are therefore properly valued at $11,900,499.
Specifically, Warrantech argues that the Commonwealth Court’s application of Section 221.21 unjustifiably divests Warran-tech of its rights under the Reliance Policies. Warrantech points to the “Effect of Cancellation” provision contained in the policies, which states that in the event of cancellation of the policies Reliance remains liable (in perpetuity) for all consumer claims arising from product breakdowns under service contracts issued by Warran-tech in 1999 and 2000. Thus, Warrantech avers that the contractual liability assumed by Reliance under the Reliance Policies “vested” when Warrantech issued service contracts to consumers in 1999 and 2000, and that neither cancellation of the policies nor application of Section 221.21 can relieve Reliance of its obligation to indemnify Warrantech for claims arising under the service contracts as a result of product breakdowns. Brief of Objector at 20.
Notwithstanding the “Effect of Cancellation” provision, Warrantech alternatively argues that Section 221.21 is inapplicable because based on the language of the statute, it only applies to “insurance in effect at the time of issuance of the order of liquidation.” Noting that Section 221.21 does not define “insurance in effect,” War-rantech contends that it is clear from the context of the statute that the language refers to insurance policies within their *352active policy periods only. Essentially, Warrantech argues that Section 221.21 exclusively applies to claims-made policies.12 Because the Reliance Policies were terminated in 2000, Warrantech posits that Section 221.21 does not apply to these policies given that they were not “insurance [policies] in effect” at the time of liquidation, notwithstanding that Reliance remained obligated to pay benefits thereunder.
Moreover, Warrantech contends that even if Section 221.21 applied to the Reliance Policies so that coverage for all “risks in effect” at the time of liquidation are terminated no later than thirty days after liquidation, Reliance nonetheless remains liable for consumer claims arising from product breakdowns that occurred after November 2, 2001, because coverage for these claims was triggered prior to liquidation. Citing to case law from other jurisdictions, as well as to 45 C.J.S. Insurance § 640, n.l (2012), Warrantech maintains that coverage under an insurance policy must be “triggered” by an event that occurs during the applicable policy period. See Montrose Chem. Corp. v. Admiral Ins. Co., 10 Cal.4th 645, 42 Cal.Rptr.2d 324, 913 P.2d 878, 880 n. 2 (1995); Boston Gas Co. v. Century Indem. Co., 454 Mass. 337, 910 N.E.2d 290, 300 (2009). Warrantech surmises that under a service contract reimbursement insurance policy, the event triggering coverage is the issuance of the service contracts by the insured. Warrantech rejects the referee’s conclusion that the triggering event is the occurrence of product breakdowns covered by the service contracts or the resulting consumer claims because these breakdowns and corresponding claims can occur both during and after the service contract reimbursement insurance policy period ends, as was the case with the Reliance Policies.
To substantiate its contention that coverage under the Reliance Policies is triggered by the issuance of the service contracts during the applicable policy periods of 1999 and 2000, Warrantech analogizes to the line of cases addressing asbestos bodily injury claims brought under general liability policies. See J.H. France Refractories Co. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 534 Pa. 29, 626 A.2d 502 (1993). Warrantech alludes to the “multiple trigger” theory of liability adopted in this line of cases where an insurer is obligated to indemnify for asbestosis related injuries if any of the following occurs while the insurer is at risk: exposure to asbestos, development of the pathology, or manifestation of the disease. Id. at 506. Warrantech likens the issuance of the service contracts to asbestos exposure, and likens consumer claims for product breakdowns under the service contracts to the manifestation of bodily injury from asbestos exposure. Just as coverage under the liability insurance policies in the asbestosis cases is triggered by the exposure to asbestos (and not only its manifestation), Warrantech contends that coverage under service contract reimbursement insurance policies, like the Reliance Policies, is triggered by the issuance of service contracts during the applicable policy period (and not the eventual claims for product breakdowns).
Thus, Warrantech avers that the Commonwealth Court erred in holding that the triggering event under the Reliance Policies was the payment by Warrantech for a consumer claim arising from a product breakdown under one of its service contracts, leading the Commonwealth Court to conclude that Section 221.21 terminated coverage for all these claims occurring after November 2, 2001. Rather, Warrantech asserts that coverage under *353the Reliance Policies was triggered before liquidation when Warrantech issued the service contracts in 1999 and 2000. Thus, according to Warrantech, the language in Section 221.21 terminating coverage for all “risks in effect” thirty days after the entry of a liquidation order has no bearing on Warrantech’s claims against the Reliance estate.
Finally, Warrantech contends that the Commonwealth Court’s construction of Section 221.21 frustrates the purpose of the statute by creating a gap in coverage for policyholders whose insurers enter liquidation. Warrantech maintains that the purpose of Section 221.21, entitled “Continuance of Coverage,” is to give policyholders time to learn of their insurance carrier’s insolvency and to seek replacement insurance. Warrantech avers that pursuant to the Commonwealth Court’s construction of Section 221.21, companies, like itself, will be unable to secure replacement insurance for service contracts issued prior to the date of their insurer’s liquidation. Moreover, Warrantech points to the injustice of requiring policyholders to purchase replacement insurance when their previous policies, purchased at great cost, guaranteed coverage in perpetuity.
In reply, the Insurance Commissioner, acting as statutory liquidator of Reliance (“Liquidator”), argues that Warrantech’s claims for reimbursement of liabilities arising after November 2, 2001 were properly valued at zero. The Liquidator maintains that a plain language reading of Section 221.21 establishes that all potential liabilities and claims against an insolvent insurer’s estate are terminated no later than thirty days after the entry of a liquidation order with respect to “risks in effect” at the time of liquidation. The Liquidator reasons that if there were “risks in effect” under the, albeit cancelled, Reliance Policies at the time Reliance entered liquidation, then coverage for those risks did not continue past November 2, 2001.
In addition to addressing the plain language of Section 221.21, the Liquidator, observes that under the plain language of the Reliance Policies, Reliance’s obligation to indemnify Warrantech is triggered when Warrantech pays for a product breakdown under one of its service contracts issued during the applicable policy period. The Liquidator therefore concludes that the “risks in effect” imposed by the Reliance Policies is the potential for consumer claims arising from product breakdowns under any one of Warran-tech’s service contracts issued in 1999 and 2000. Accordingly, the Liquidator contends that Section 221.21, which statutorily discontinues insurance coverage with respect to “risks in effect” at the time of liquidation, when applied to the Reliance Policies, precludes Warrantech from seeking reimbursement for consumer claims arising from product breakdowns which occurred subsequent to November 2, 2001, thirty days after the Commonwealth Court issued its order of liquidation.
The Liquidator further argues that the “risks in effect” language in Section 221.21 should be interpreted as not limited to policies with active policy periods at the time of liquidation, but rather as additionally applying to policies, like the Reliance Policies, where the policy periods have ended, but coverage continues. The Liquidator observes that the plain language of Section 221.21 says “risks in effect,” not “policy periods in effect.” Accordingly, the Liquidator argues that the “Effect of Cancellation” provision in the Reliance Policies does not trump the statutory cutoff of “risks in effect” mandated by Section 221.21.
Finally, while recognizing that the termination of coverage mandated by Section 221.21 might work some hardships, the *354Liquidator contends that the provision is reasonable and necessary to facilitate the equitable and uniform handling of claims in an insolvent insurer’s estate. The Liquidator argues that Section 221.21 does not necessarily apply to protect every policyholder from a coverage gap, but rather allows policyholders who can obtain replacement coverage to do so.13 The Liquidator warns that if this Court adopts War-rantech’s construction of Section 221.21, coverage under service contract reimbursement insurance, such as the Reliance Policies, could continue for decades after an insurer is placed into liquidation simply because a policy was issued and cancelled pre-liquidation. The Liquidator contends that Warrantech’s position stands at odds with the chief purpose of Section 221.21, which is to fix the liabilities of insolvent insurers entering liquidation.
Upon review, we recognize that the question presented — whether Section 221.21 applies to terminate coverage for all “risks in effect” under a policy of insurance no later than thirty days after the respective insurer enters liquidation, notwithstanding whether the policy of insurance was cancelled prior to the date of liquidation — is a question of law. Likewise, the interpretation of an insurance contract is also a question of law. 101 Fourth St, Inc. v. Investors Ins. Grp., 583 Pa. 445, 879 A.2d 166,170 (2005). As such, our standard of review is de novo and our scope of review plenary. Id.; Carrozza v. Greenbaum, 591 Pa. 196, 916 A.2d 553, 561 n. 13 (2007).
As our analysis involves interpreting a provision of the Insurance Department Act, we necessarily begin by considering the Statutory Construction Act of 1972. 1 Pa.C.S. § 1501 et seq. The Statutory Construction Act directs that the object of all interpretation and construction of statutes is to ascertain and effectuate the legislature’s intent. 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(a); Chanceford Aviation Properties, LLP v. Chanceford Twp. Bd. of Supervisors, 592 Pa. 100, 923 A.2d 1099, 1104 (2007). Generally, the best indicator of legislative intent is the plain language of the statute. Walker v. Eleby, 577 Pa. 104, 842 A.2d 389, 400 (2004). In construing statutory language, “[w]ords and phrases shall be construed according to rules of grammar and according to their common and approved usage[.]” 1 Pa.C.S. § 1903(a). When the words of a statute are clear and unambiguous, there is no need to look beyond the plain meaning of the statute “under the pretext of pursuing its spirit.” 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(b); Commonwealth v. Conklin, 587 Pa. 140, 897 A.2d 1168, 1175 (2006). Only “[w]hen the words of the statute are not explicit” may a court resort to the rules of statutory construction, including those provided in 1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(c).14 Chanceford, 923 A.2d at 1104. A statute is ambiguous when there are at *355least two reasonable interpretations of the text under review. See Delaware Cnty. v. First Union Corp., 605 Pa. 547, 992 A.2d 112, 118 (2010). Moreover, “[statutes in pari materia shall be construed together, if possible, as one statute.” 1 Pa.C.S. § 1932. Finally, it is presumed “[t]hat the General Assembly does not intend a result that is absurd, impossible of execution or unreasonable.” 1 Pa.C.S. § 1922(1).
Pursuant to Section 221.20(d) of the Insurance Department Act, once an order of liquidation is issued, the rights and liabilities of an insurer, its creditors, policyholders and all other persons interested in the insurer’s assets are fixed as of the filing of the petition for liquidation of the insurer, except as provided for in Section 221.21, inter alia. 40 P.S. 221.20(d). Section 221.21, entitled “Continuance of Coverage,” extends coverage on behalf of policyholders whose insurer enters liquidation for a defined period after the entry of the liquidation order. Section 221.21 reads in full:
All insurance in effect at the time of issuance [of] an order of liquidation shall continue in force only with respect to the risks in effect, at that time (i) for a period of thirty days from the date of entry of the liquidation order; (ii) until the normal expiration of the policy coverage; (iii) until the insured has replaced the insurance coverage with equivalent insurance in another insurer or otherwise terminated the policy; or (iv) until the liquidator has effected a transfer of the policy obligation pursuant to section 523(8), whichever time is less.
40 P.S. § 221.21.
Warrantech’s strongest argument is that Section 221.21 only applies to insur-anee policies with active policy periods at the time of liquidation, and that the Reliance Policies, which were cancelled in 2000, are exempt from the requirements of the statute. As Warrantech observes, the prefatory language in Section 221.21 reads “[a]ll insurance in effect at the time of issuance of an order of liquidation.... ” Notably, the Insurance Department Act does not define “[a]ll insurance in effect,” nor does the phrase appear anywhere else in the statute. While Warrantech construes the phrase “[a]ll insurance in effect” as only pertaining to insurance policies within their “active” policy periods,15 the Liquidator contends that the phrase refers to any insurance policy that continues to provide coverage to its policyholders, regardless of whether the policy period of the subject insurance policy is active at the time of the insurer’s liquidation. Because both interpretations are plausible under the plain language of Section 221.21, we turn to the rules of statutory construction to ascertain and effectuate the intent of the General Assembly with respect to the phrase “[a]ll insurance in effect.”
In so doing, we recognize that “[statutes in pari materia shall be construed together, if possible, as one statute.” 1 Pa.C.S. § 1932. Accordingly, we conclude that Section 221.21 should be read in pari materia with Section 221.20(d). See 1 Pa. C.S. § 1932. Both provisions address the rights of policyholders whose insurers enter liquidation under Article V of the Insurance Department Act. Moreover, Section 221.20(d) cross-references Section 221.21, as an exception to the rule it announces.
When the two provisions are read together, the purpose behind Section 221.21, *356and correspondingly, the meaning of the phrase “[a]ll insurance in effect,” becomes evident. As noted above, Section 221.20(d) provides that the rights and liabilities of an insurer entering liquidation and of “its creditors, policyholders ... and all other persons interested in its estate shall become fixed as of the date of filing of the petition for liquidation.” 40 P.S. 221.20(d).16 Section 221.21 relaxes the rule announced in Section 221.20(d) (fixing the rights and liabilities of an insurer entering liquidation) by providing policyholders, whose insurance coverage would otherwise be terminated as of the date of the filing of the petition for liquidation, a thirty-day window to acquire replacement insurance. During this thirty-day period, the policyholders retain coverage for “risks in effect” at the time of liquidation. See 40 P.S. § 221.21.17
Warrantech’s argument that Section 221.21 only applies to insurance policies with active policy periods based on the phrase “[a]ll insurance in effect” is incongruous with the overriding purpose of Sections 221.20(d) and 221.21, which is to provide a limited exception for insureds facing the otherwise harsh finality of standard liquidation proceedings. Given the interplay between Sections 221.20(d) and 221.21,it is apparent that the General Assembly adopted Section 221.21 to allow insureds the opportunity to avoid gaps in coverage when their insurers unexpectedly enter liquidation. Tellingly, Section 221.21 is titled “Continuance of Coverage.” But for Section 221.21 providing policyholders of insurers entering liquidation a thirty-day window to acquire replacement insurance, Section 221.20(d) would cut off coverage to every policyholder whose insurer enters liquidation as of the date the petition for liquidation is filed, without notice and an opportunity to seek replacement coverage.
Therefore, rather than reading “[a]ll insurance in effect” to mean only insurance policies with active policy periods at the time of liquidation, the better interpretation is to read the phrase as a reference to the same policyholders identified in Section 221.20(d) who face the unforeseen termination of their insurance coverage on account of their insurer’s liquidation. For these reasons, we conclude that the Liquidator advances the correct interpretation of the prefatory language in Section 221.21,namely, that the phrase “[a]ll insurance in effect” means any insurance policy that continues to provide coverage to its policyholders as of the date the Commonwealth Court enters an order of liquidation.
Next, we turn to Warrantech’s argument that, notwithstanding Section 221.21,Reliance remains hable for consumer claims arising from product breakdowns that occurred after November 2, 2001, because coverage for these claims was trig*357gered prior to liquidation when Warran-tech issued service contracts back in 1999 and 2000. First, Warrantech’s attempt to analogize this case to the line of cases utilizing the “multiple trigger” theory of insurer liability within the context of asbestos bodily injury claims is misguided. While this Court applied the “multiple trigger” theory to asbestos-related diseases in J.H. France, we have not utilized the theory outside of the toxic tort scenario. See J.H. France, 534 Pa. 29, 626 A.2d 502 (1993); Consulting Eng’rs, Inc. v. Ins. Co. of North Am., 710 A.2d 82, 87 (Pa.Super.1998) aff'd, 560 Pa. 247, 743 A.2d 911 (2000).18 The insurance policies at issue merely involve claims arising from product breakdowns occurring under standard service contracts, which is entirely distinguishable from the unusual and prolonged etiology of asbestos-related diseases or similar toxic tort scenarios.
Second, we reject Warrantech’s contention that coverage under any and every policy of insurance must be triggered by an event that occurs during the applicable policy period. In determining whether an event triggers coverage under a policy of insurance we look to the intent of the parties as manifested by the language of the specific insurance policy. Kvaerner Metals Div., 908 A.2d at 896-97; 401 Fourth St., 879 A.2d at 171; Minnesota Fire & Cas. Co. v. Greenfield, 579 Pa. 333, 855 A.2d 854, 861 (2004).
Turning to the language of the Reliance Policies, we find that the triggering event is a claim made after a product breakdown under one of Warrantech’s service contracts, as opposed to the creation of these contracts in 1999 or 2000. The Reliance Policies expressly require Reliance to indemnify Warrantech for “all sums which [Warrantech] shall become legally obligated to pay” under the service contracts issued in 1999 and 2000. See supra note 4. Because Warrantech assumes obligations under the service contracts in the event of claims from product breakdowns- only, these product breakdowns and corresponding claims serve as the triggering event for the Reliance Policies. Accordingly, the language in Section 221.21 terminating coverage for all “risks in effect” under a policy of insurance no more than thirty days after liquidation operates to cut off coverage under the Reliance Policies for claims arising from product breakdowns occurring after November 2, 2001.
We further dismiss Warrantech’s argument that the “Effect of Cancellation” clause in the Reliance Policies trumps Section 221.21 by extending coverage to claims for product breakdowns under the service contracts in perpetuity. Notwithstanding the principle that the meaning of an insurance contract is generally determined from the language of the policy, “stipulations in a contract of insurance in conflict with, or repugnant to, statutory provisions which are applicable to, and consequently form a part of, the contract, must yield to the statute, and are invalid, since contracts cannot change existing statutory laws.” Prudential Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co. v. Colbert, 572 Pa. 82, 813 A.2d 747, 750 (2002) (internal citation omitted). Accordingly, Section 221.21 applies to the Reliance Policies, notwithstanding the “Effect of Cancellation” clause, just as it applies to every other insurance policy with risks in effect at the time the Commonwealth Court issues an order of liquidation.
*358Finally, while we are sympathetic to Warrantech’s complaint that the Liquidator’s construction of Section 221.21 works an injustice by requiring policyholders, such as itself, to purchase replacement insurance when their previous policies were purchased at great cost, the argument lacks persuasive legal merit. As this Court has recognized, barring claims against insolvent insurers after a certain date, while it may work hardships on certain parties, is necessary to permit the Liquidator to manage effectively existing liabilities for the ultimate benefit of all claimants of insolvent insurers. See Foster v. Mwt. Fire, Marine & Inland Ins. Co., 581 Pa. 598, 614 A.2d 1086, 1098 (1992). In Sections 221.20(d) and 221.21, the General Assembly struck a balance between the interests of policyholders, creditors and the public generally by fixing the rights of all parties with an interest in the estate of an insurer entering liquidation as of the date the petition for liquidation is filed, while making an exception for insurance policies with risks in effect at the time of liquidation by extending coverage for no more than thirty days to provide affected policyholders an opportunity to purchase replacement insurance. The fact that Warrantech cannot benefit from the Section 221.21 legislatively created exception does not justify the formation of a new exclusion for Warrantech which the legislature did not provide. This Court is constrained to uphold the General Assembly’s legislative judgment, notwithstanding the particular hardships imposed on War-rantech in this case.
In light of the foregoing, we conclude that Section 221.21 of the Insurance Department Act operates to terminate all claims against the estate of an insurer by its policyholders no later than thirty days after the filing of a petition for liquidation with respect to “risks in effect” at the time the Commonwealth Court issues an order of liquidation, regardless of whether the claims are based on insurance policies with active policy periods at the time of liquidation. The order of the Commonwealth Court finding that Section 221.21 relieves Reliance of all liability to indemnify War-rantech for claims arising from product breakdowns under the service contracts that occurred after November 2, 2001 is therefore affirmed. Jurisdiction is relinquished.

.40 P.S. § 221.21 provides in full:
All insurance in effect at the time of issuance [of] an order of liquidation shall continue in force only with respect to the risks in effect, at that time (i) for a period of thirty days from the date of entry of the liquidation order; (ii) until the normal expiration of the policy coverage; (iii) until the insured has replaced the insurance coverage with equivalent insurance in another insurer or otherwise terminated the policy; or (iv) until the liquidator has effected a transfer of the policy obligation pursuant to section 523(8), whichever time is less.
40 P.S. § 221.21 (emphasis added).
. Section 221.44 directs the liquidator to assign a priority level classification to each claim against the insurer’s estate, ranging from the highest priority level of (a) to the lowest priority level of (i). See 40 P.S. § 221.44.
. As liquidator, the Commissioner is required to recommend to the Commonwealth Court a value for each claim. See 40 P.S. § 221.45.
.Neither Warrantech nor the Liquidator took exception to the referee’s recommendation that the Commonwealth Court value Warrantech’s claim regarding the Offset Issue at $700,194. Accordingly, the Offset Issue has no bearing on the matter before us.
. In keeping with the referee's recommendation regarding the Offset Issue, the Commonwealth Court ordered that the Liquidator’s NODs be amended to indicate a value of $700,194.
. See supra, note 6.
. The Liquidator notes that, contrary to Warrantech's assertion, the Commonwealth Court's interpretation of Section 221.21 does not necessarily create a gap in coverage for policyholders like Warrantech because they can presumably obtain retroactive liability insurance for existing service contracts.
. The factors in § 1921(c) are:
(1) The occasion and necessity for the statute.
(2) The circumstances under which it was enacted.
(3) The mischief to be remedied.
(4) The object to be attained.
(5) The former law, if any, including other statutes upon the same or similar subjects.
(6) The consequences of a particular interpretation.
(7) The contemporaneous legislative history.
(8) Legislative and administrative interpretations of such statute.
1 Pa.C.S. § 1921(c).
. Meaning, simply, a finite, ascertainable period of time for which an insured has paid a premium and during which an insurer has correspondingly agreed to pay claims in accord with the parties' insurance agreement.
. Section 221.20(d) reads in relevant part:
Upon issuance of the order [of liquidation], the rights and liabilities of any such insurer [entering liquidation] and of its creditors, policyholders ... and all other persons interested in its estate shall become fixed as of the date of filing of the petition for liquidation, except as provided in sections [221.21] and [221.39],
40 P.S. § 221.20(d).
. We acknowledge that .under the plain language of Section 221.21, thirty days represents the longest period of time after a liquidation order is issued that a policyholder may retain coverage with respect to risks in effect at the time of liquidation. Specifically, coverage for risks in effect may terminate sooner (1) with the normal expiration of the policy coverage, (2) in the event the insured terminates the policy or procures replacement insurance, or (3) when the liquidator transfers the policy obligation pursuant to Section 221.23. See id.
. We acknowledge that Pa. Nat’l Mutual Ins. Co. v. St. John, 86 MAP 2012, J-37-2013, is currently pending before this Court, raising the question of whether the multiple trigger theory should be extended to "cases presenting continuous, progressive 'property damage."’ 617 Pa. 559, 53 A.3d 1316 (2012) (order).
