§1641e Filing of Claims; Notice in Federal Register

Summary

The Commission must publish in the Federal Register the start date for filing claims and the deadline for filing them. For claims under paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of section 1641b, the Commission must publish this within 60 days after August 9, 1955, or within 60 days after Congress provides money for the Commission to handle those claims, whichever is later. The filing period it announces can be no more than one year after publication, except claims under section 1641d are limited to no more than six months. For claims under paragraph (4) of section 1641b, the Commission must publish within 30 days after July 24, 1968, or within 30 days after Congress provides the needed appropriations, whichever is later; the filing period may be no more than six months. For paragraph (5) claims, it must publish within 30 days after October 20, 1974, or 30 days after appropriations, whichever is later, with a filing period of no more than six months. If a U.S. national was mailed a notice about a claim under paragraphs (1), (2), or (3) but did not get it because an agency used a nonexistent address, that person may still file. The Commission must publish, within 30 days after October 20, 1974, the filing deadline for those missed-notice claims, and that deadline cannot be more than six months after publication.
