3.       ALL POLICYHOLDERS AND CERTIFICATE HOLDERS with previously reported claims or new claims should check the box indicating “Claim is made by policyholder for benefits provided by the policy”.  Filing your proof will place the Liquidator on notice of the claim.  This will activate your claim in the liquidation proceedings.  You should file a separate proof for each claim that is known to you.  You must file a Proof of Claim even if the claim is in suit.  Do not file this Proof of Claim unless you are aware of a claim and can actually support it.  If you fail to adequately describe and document your claim, for purposes of this liquidation, your Proof of Claim may be rejected at the sole discretion of the Liquidator.

 

4.       CLAIMANTS OTHER THAN POLICYHOLDERS OR CERTIFICATE HOLDERS should check the appropriate box of the Proof of Claim form.  This proof must be filed, even though the claim was presented to the company.  Failure to file this proof will jeopardize your claim in the liquidation.  If you fail to provide adequate documentation to support your claim, your Proof of Claim may be rejected at the sole discretion of the Liquidator.

 

4a.  Claims submitted for legal, actuarial, reinsurance coverage or general creditor fees must include the original written contract or description of any other agreement with the company and must be accompanied by detailed invoices.

 

5.       Supporting documents must be attached:

(a)    If the claim is for loss under a policy or contract of insurance attach a copy of the proof of loss, if any, filed with the company prior to the liquidation.

(b)    If the claim is for materials supplied, services rendered, or a contract with the company other than a policy or contract of insurance, a copy of the contract should be attached.  If such contract was oral, give the name of the person who acted for the company and the terms of the contract or agreement.

(c)    If any document has been lost, destroyed, or cannot be provided the reason should be stated.

(d)    Claims filed by receivers, administrators, assignees, attorneys-in-fact, guardians, or other representative, should include proof of authority.
