Important: You can now submit a Claim for the Removed Child Class and Removed Child Family Class. Learn more about how to complete a Claim.

Home » Claims

When the Claims Period for each Class opens, you must submit a completed Claim Form to the Administrator before the deadline. Each Class has specific timelines, eligibility criteria and requirements, meaning you must complete a separate Claim Form for each Class.

Submitting a Claim

You can receive help filling out your Claim Form, but each person must submit their own Claim. The Administrator will not accept Claims submitted on behalf of another person unless:

  • The Claim is submitted by a legally appointed Personal Representative on behalf of a Person Under Disability (i.e., someone unable to manage their affairs due to mental incapacity)
  • The Claim is submitted on behalf of a deceased person by the executor of their estate or by their heirs

You will be able to submit your Claim Form directly to the Administrator online through the Claims Portal or by mail, fax or email.
