Michigan’s Office of Financial and Insurance Services (OFIS) today reminded Michigan Holocaust survivors and heirs that the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (ICHEIC) of the deadline to file insurance claims is December 31, 2003.

“It is very critical that you file your claim, even if you are not positive it may be valid,” said OFIS Commissioner Linda A. Watters. “It is better to make sure you have your claim on file than risk not having the claimed honored because it was never filed.”

Claim forms may be obtained by calling the international commission toll-free at (800) 957-3203 in the United States or visiting the ICHEIC Web site at  www.icheic.org.
