Proof of claim forms have been mailed. Any proof of claim forms filed after the claims filing deadline will be considered “late filed”. If you have submitted a proof of claim form, you will be notified in writing of the Receiver's recommendation on your claim.

On March 24, 2009, the First Interim Claims Report and Recommendations on Claims was filed with the Court. On March 25, 2009, the Court issued an Order approving the report. On March 31, 2009, notices were mailed to 176 UBO claimants informing them of the Receiver’s recommendations concerning the classifications and amounts on their claims, along with instructions on how to proceed if a claimant objects to the recommendations. Objections are required to be filed by the claimant, in writing, with both the Court and the Receiver and postmarked by May 15, 2009. Objections filed after that date will not be considered.

Please be advised that the assets in the Receivership estate of UBO are not sufficient to fund a distribution payment to all claimants. In fact, the Receiver does not anticipate a distribution to any claimants beyond Class 2. For Class 1 and 2 claimants, the Receiver hopes to make a distribution prior to the end of 2009.

It is the claimant's responsibility to notify the Receiver, in writing, if there is a change in their name or mailing address. When corresponding with the Receiver, be sure to reference "UBO Self Insurers Fund" and the "Receiver's Claim Number ("RCN")", which will allow the Receiver to associate your request with the correct claim and receivership.
