The Manville Trust has posted an updated Proof of Claim form which includes a check box asserting the filers intention to file a PACOR claim.  This ability is also now part of the eClaims system.  For those filers filing PACOR claims this is a critical component in tolling the Statute of Limitations for PACOR claims.  Please review the instructions for completing the Proof of Claim form for additional information.

SimpleBatch:  The MV template for filing claims has been updated to include a column to indicate an intention to file a Pacor claim along with the MV claim. Please see here for more information.

Web Services:  Manville Web Services has been updated to include an option to indicate an intention to file a Pacor claim along with a MV claim. Please see here for more information.

Per Manville’s TDP, the Trust’s distribution to all claimants for the first nine months of a year shall not exceed 85% of the Maximum Annual Payment (MAP) determined for that year.  Manville has reached this limit for 2018.  Therefore, any claim with a status of “Awaiting Offer Funding” will not receive payment until October of 2018.  Claims at this status will be carried over to the fourth quarter of 2018 and placed at the head of the FIFO payment queue.  Please refer to the 2002 TDP Section H.8 for further details.

The Manville Trust has reached its Maximum Annual Payment (MAP) amount for 2017.  Therefore, any claim with a status of “Awaiting Offer Funding” will not receive payment until 2018.  Claims at this status will be carried over to 2018 and placed at the head of the FIFO payment queue. Please refer to the 2002 TDP Section H.8 for further details.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: A decision has been made as to the pro rata payment percentage.  CRMC is in the process of completing programming changes and will resume making offers as soon as possible at the new percentage. Please view the details here.

FYI: The Manville Trust pro rata discussions are still underway between the Trustees and representatives of the beneficiaries.  An update will be posted as soon as discussions have been finalized.

The Manville Trustees have determined to stay all offers to claimants until the Trust’s obligations going forward can be more accurately determined. The Trust has retained consultants to prepare a future claims forecast which will permit the Trust to determine the appropriate pro rata payment percentage and allow the Trust to meet its obligations to current and future claimants. The Trust anticipates this process will take approximately 60 days to complete. Claims for which offers have already been made are not affected by this stay.

Effective April 28, 2016, the Manville Trust will require submission of an executed release prior to payment on claims. After accepting the offer on a claim you will be prompted to generate a release. Once you receive the executed release from the claimant simply upload it to the claim file. It will then be reviewed by CRMC and, once approved, the claim will automatically move into the payment queue.
