    (e) Refunds from advance deposits. Whenever in the judgment of the 
Commissioner the ratio between fees collected (which are based upon 
experience and the best estimate of costs and the best estimate of 
earnings) and the costs of providing the service during an elapsed 
period of time, in the light of all circumstances and contingencies, 
warrants a refund from the fund collected during such period, he shall 
make ratable refunds to those persons to whom the services were rendered 
and charged, except that no refund shall be made where the computed 
ratable amount for the elapsed period is less than $5.00.
