The processing of claims hasn't started yet, but preparations for that processing are under way. The time for the processing is unclear but almost certainly will be in the neighborhood of six months.
There will one or two ocassions during that time that you will receive a notice from the administrator about any specific claims or work for which there is question or problem, unless you received a notice on the problem in 2006. At that time you will have the opportunity to offer your view, except for omissions or defects for which you received a letter in 2006.
We have an interim report on the claims which reflects an initial review by the administrator, and it categorizes claims in various ways. It details problems if any have been spotted at this time, and if none it indicates the value of the claim. This is definitely interim, as there is another detailed process of review for eligibility that will take place in coming months.
The administrator will not respond to individual inquiries. However, time permitting, I will respond to them.
I say time permitting because there are about 2500 claimants. I will do the best I can but a response may not be prompt. I will do this for all categories.
It will be helpful to us if you do contact me because by reviewing with you any problems that have already been identified I may be able to improve the future processing, and possibly shorten the time.
