Proof of claim forms were mailed in early 1993. Any proof of claim form filed after the claims filing deadline was considered "late filed".

This receivership involves multiple states and multiple guaranty associations. The issues regarding multi-state companies are complex in nature and generally require higher levels of coordination.

On May 28, 2008, the Second Interim Claims Report and Recommendations on Claims was filed with the Court. On May 29, 2008 the Court issued an Order approving the report. On June 12, 2008, notices were mailed to 2,408 First Southern 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 July 31, 2008. Objections filed after that date will not be considered.

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 "First Southern Insurance Company" and the "Receiver's Claim Number ("RCN")", which will allow the Receiver to associate your request with the correct claim and receivership.
