Title 22 › CHAPTER 21 — SETTLEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS › SUBCHAPTER III — CLAIMS AGAINST BULGARIA, HUNGARY, RUMANIA, ITALY, AND THE SOVIET UNION › § 1641e
The Commission must publish in the Federal Register when people can file claims and how long they have to do it. For claims under paragraphs (1), (2), or (3) of section 1641b, that notice must appear within sixty days after August 9, 1955, or within sixty days after a law gives the Commission funds for these tasks, whichever is later. The filing period set in the notice cannot exceed one year, except claims under section 1641d are limited to six months. For property taken in Bulgaria and Rumania (paragraph (4)) and for Hungary (paragraph (5)), the notice must appear within thirty days after July 24, 1968, or October 20, 1974, respectively, or within thirty days after such funding is provided, and the filing period may not exceed six months. If a U.S. national was mailed a Hungary notice but did not receive it because a government office used a nonexistent address, that person may still file; the Commission must publish the filing time for those claims within thirty days after October 20, 1974, with a filing window of no more than six months.
