A. The claimant shall file Proof of Loss forms with the relevant CPW Area Office within 90 days of the Division's receipt of claimant's last Notice of Loss. Provided, however, the claimant may elect to delay filing a Proof of Loss form for a base compensation claim up to and including December 31 for the year when the losses were sustained by signing a Notice of Election to File Annual Claim for Gray Wolf Depredation form prepared by the Division.

Incomplete or incorrect forms may be returned to the claimant by the Division. However, the time period for filing Proof of Loss forms shall not be altered thereby.

C. The relevant Area Wildlife Manager or their designee will meet and confer with the claimant within thirty (30) days of the Division's receipt of the claimant's Proof of Loss form in an effort to reach a settlement.
