Claims that have been fully and finally denied.

Individuals who receive an Official Rejection Notice still retain the right to request reconsideration of their claims by the Reconsideration Officer. Right now, individuals who have received an Official Rejection Notice can make this request at any time. Once deadlines are reinstated, individuals will have a time-limit of 30 days to make this request.

The Administrator has reviewed these claims and determined that additional information is needed, or, the information provided does not meet the Settlement criteria. Applicants in this category will have received either a Notice of Intent to Reject, a Reminder Letter, or a Request for Additional Information (Supplementary Claim Form). Without additional information that meets the Settlement criteria, the Administrator cannot find these claims eligible. Individuals have been notified of this requirement. Right now, individuals who have received the above letters can provide additional information at any time. Once deadlines are reinstated, individuals will have a time-limit of 30 days to respond to their Reminder Letters or 45 days to respond to their Notice of Intent to Reject or Request for Additional Information letters (Supplementary Claim Form).

Note that this includes claims that are being reviewed by the Administrator, the appropriate Provincial, Territorial, or Federal agency, or by one of the four Lands Claim Organizations. This category also includes claims that have been reviewed previously and are now being re-assessed either by the Reconsideration Officer or by the Administrator, based on new information applicants have provided.
