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.
