Can I submit one document (e.g. death certificate) and have it applied to each Trust?
No. Each Trust is a separate entity and requires that documents be filed separately for each claim filing.

Does the UNR Trust process only malignancy claims?
No. However the less serious disease claims could be valued less than the $150 non-refundable filing fee.

What is the time period between claim filing and issuance of an offer or disallowance?
Other than exigent cases, which are processed as soon as possible, claims are processed in FIFO order and typically the waiting period is less than 60 days.

Is there a claim filing fee?
A $150.00 non-refundable filing fee must accompany the claim when filed. For statute of limitations purposes, a claim is not considered properly filed until the fee is received.
