If you have a claim, you must fill out this form and return the form to the Receiver no later than the Claim Filing Deadline indicated above. You must file a separate Proof of Claim (POC) for each type of claim or for multiple claims of the same type. Failure to complete and return this form to the Receiver by the Claim Filing Deadline may result in your claim being treated as a late-filed claim.

 2.     Supporting Documentation:  To evaluate your claim, the Receiver requires documentation that supports your claim. When you submit your completed Proof of Claim Form, please provide a brief explanation of the claim, the amount claimed, and all documentation that supports your claim. Examples of the types of supporting documentation that should be submitted include the following:  invoices, agreements, evidence of payment, receipts, etc. Once you have completed and submitted your Proof of Claim Form, you should download and save the completed Proof of Claim Form and all supporting documentation for your records.

Your Taxpayer Identification Number may be used to report claim payments made to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

The Receiver will not know the percentage that can be paid on any individual claim until all liabilities are determined. This process may take several months or years after the deadline for filing claims has passed.

 6.     Change of Name or Address:  If you have a change of address after you submit your Proof of Claim Form to us, it is your responsibility to notify the Receiver in writing or via email that your address has changed.
