Requests for Escalation of Claims: The GCCF has been receiving requests by claimants for escalation of their claims in numbers that threaten the fairness of the Program. In fairness to all claimants, the GCCF will review claims in order of receipt of claims and will determine payment in order of receipt of sufficient documentation to allow payment. The GCCF recognizes the importance to claimants of quick and efficient processing. However, the GCCF's policy is to treat all claimants equally and therefore requests for escalation for specific claims will not result in special treatment.
