How can I send my Claim Form?

You must use one of these submission methods. A late claim is treated as untimely and will prevent payment from this Fair Fund.

  • Include appropriate supporting documents for every transaction entered in Part III of the Claim Form.
  • For an online or email claim, include all required supporting documentation with the submission.

How will my payment amount be calculated?

The notice does not provide the calculation formula. It says that the Plan of Allocation, attached as Exhibit A to the Plan, contains the methodology used for eligibility and payment calculations.

  • The payment is not a fixed amount for each investor.
  • The Fund Administrator applies the Plan of Allocation to approved transactions to calculate a Recognized Loss.
  • A payment is available only if the calculated Distribution Payment is at least $20.00.

What happens after I submit a claim?

These are claim-review and dispute timeframes. The notice does not give a date for distribution payments to be sent.

  • If the Fund Administrator finds a deficiency, it says it will send a Claim Status Notice within 60 days after the Claims Bar Date. That notice will explain the problem and how to cure it, seek reconsideration, or dispute the determination.
  • Within 150 days after the Claims Bar Date, the Fund Administrator says it will complete claim determinations and send a Determination Notice to everyone who submitted a timely Claim Form.
  • If you disagree with the Recognized Loss calculation, you may submit a written dispute within 30 days of the Determination Notice. The Fund Administrator will respond in writing within 30 days after receiving it.

What must a broker or other nominee purchaser do?

  • Within 14 days after receiving the notice, either mail the notice and Claim Form to each beneficial owner by First-Class Mail, or provide the Fund Administrator with the beneficial owners' names and addresses.

Does receiving this notice mean I qualify for a payment?

Receiving the notice is not a decision on your claim.

  • A mailed notice and claim form do not establish that you are a Preliminary Claimant or that you qualify for payment.
  • Eligibility depends on the Plan requirements and the Fund Administrator's review of the claim.
