Claim Forms and Instruction Booklets

ADVISORY

The deadline to file all Claim Forms in the Seafood Compensation Program was January 22, 2013. If you have a Seafood claim that you have not yet submitted but wish to file now, you should do so immediately. The Claims Administrator will evaluate all untimely filings to determine whether they meet an approved deadline exception. We cannot guarantee that your late filing will be accepted into the Seafood Compensation Program. The Claims Administrator will notify you of the outcome of your claim’s timeliness review.

The Court-Supervised Settlement Program opened on June 4, 2012. Claim Forms and their accompanying Instruction Booklets are available at the links below and at Claimant Assistance Centers. Claimants and Counsel are encouraged to submit claims online, which will be an easier process than completing and submitting paper Claim Forms. The online claim process will guide you through only the specific questions you need to answer, and will instruct you about the specific Supporting Documentation you must submit, based on the answers you enter as you go along.
