Claims Information - Cumberland Casualty & Surety Company ("Cumberland")
What is the status of my pending claim?
The claim processing procedure set forth in the Motion has been authorized by the Receivership Court. If you
need the status on your claim, you may call 1-800-723-0171 or 1-813-885-2112 and a Cumberland representative will assist you.
If I have already filed a claim with Cumberland, will the
approved Rehabilitation Plan affect the status of my claim?
No. Exhibit "X" of the Receiver's Motion identifies those
open pending claims that are on file with Cumberland and already deemed
submitted. An additional proof of claim form does not need to be submitted
for those claims identified on Exhibit "X".
I was previously offered a settlement amount on my pending claim, however, I did not accept the offer. Is that offer
still good?
No. Any previous offers of settlement not accepted and finalized are hereby withdrawn.
If I negotiated a claim settlement with the Receiver previously and agreed to an amount less than my original estimated claim amount, can I file a proof of claim form for the difference?
No. Claims previously settled with the Receiver are final and will not be reopened.
I previously posted collateral with Cumberland. Will my collateral be returned?
The Receivership Court has approved the Collateral Release Process set forth in the Receiver’s Motion. In the event
that no claim is submitted against the bond (s) for which you posted collateral by the Claims Filing Deadline, the Receiver is
authorized to initiate the process for releasing your collateral. If no claim is submitted against the bond (s) for which you posted
collateral by the Claims Filing Deadline, the Receiver is authorized to begin the process for releasing your collateral as of

How do I report a new claim?
On August 10, 2009, the Receiver mailed proof of claim forms to individuals and entities that the Receiver
identified as having a possible claim in the Cumberland estate. The proof of claim form mailing also provided a notice that informs
claimants of the Receiver's approved Plan of Rehabilitation. If you did not receive a proof of claim form and
