Reminder of Policy Regarding Claims in Certain Statuses
Posted 01/03/2023
The Trust would like to remind firms regarding the policy on the length of time claims are allowed to remain in certain statuses. The policy is as follows: The Trust can deem a claim withdrawn after the claim has been placed on “Hold/Deferred”, in “Reviewed Deficient” status, or in “Offer Made” status and remains in one of those statuses for six (6) months. Upon request and for good cause, the Trust may extend this period for an additional six (6) months. After the extended period, the Trust will deem the claim withdrawn. In addition, claims that remain in an “Incomplete” status without a filing fee will be withdrawn after two weeks. Claims that remain in Incomplete with a filing fee will be withdrawn after one year. According to the Trust Distribution Procedures, the existing statute of limitations for the claim will not be affected by the withdrawal, only its place in the FIFO queue. “A claimant can withdraw a Trust Claim at any time upon written notice to the Trust and file another claim subsequently without affecting the status of the claim for statute of limitations purposes, but any such claim filed after the withdrawal shall be given a place in the FIFO Processing Queue based on the date of such subsequent filing. TDP Section 6.3 Any claim that is withdrawn or rejected may be resubmitted, but a new $250 filing fee will be required.
