Section 1-3 - Filing claims

(1) All claims must be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date the crime was committed; provided, however, that for good cause the director may extend the time for filing for a period not exceeding two (2) years after such occurrence.

(2) All claims shall be filed in the office of the division in person or by certified mail on forms approved by the division.

(1) The claim shall be signed by the claimant. If the claim is filed by a minor or other incompetent, the claim may be signed and filed on his or her behalf by the parent, guardian, or other individual authorized to administer his or her affairs.

(2) Each claim shall be reviewed to ensure that it is complete. If the claim is not complete, written notice shall be given to the claimant with a brief statement requesting additional information. The claimant, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request for additional information, shall supply that information to the division or request an extension of time, not to exceed sixty (60) days. The request shall be in writing to the director. If the claimant does not furnish additional information, or an extension granted by the director for good cause, the application shall be denied.
