Sec. 295.32  Determination of compensation due to claimant.

    (a) Authorized Official's report. After OCGFC has evaluated all 
elements of a claim as stated in the Proof of Loss, the Authorized 
Official will issue, and provide the Claimant with a copy of, the 
Authorized Official's Determination.
    (b) Claimant's options upon issuance of the Authorized Official's 
determination. Not later than 120 days after the date that appears on 
the Authorized Official's Determination, the Claimant must either accept 
the findings by submitting a Release and Certification Form to FEMA or 
initiate an Administrative Appeal in accordance with Sec. 295.41. The 
CGFAA requires that Claimants sign the Release and Certification Form to 
receive payment on their claims (except for partial payments). The 
Claimant will receive payment of compensation awarded by the Authorized 
Official after FEMA receives the completed Release and Certification 
Form. If the Claimant does not either submit a Release and Certification 
Form to FEMA or initiate an Administrative Appeal no later than 120 Days 
after the date that appears on the Authorized Official's Determination, 
he or she will be conclusively presumed to have accepted the Authorized 
Official's Determination. The Director of OCGFC may modify the deadlines 
set forth in this subsection at the request of a Claimant for good cause 
shown.
