004. FILING OF CLAIMS. A claim may be filed only if it arises out of the termination of operation by a for-profit postsecondary institution on or after September 1, 2017. Claims by students who ceased to be enrolled in classes which continued to be offered by an institution after the student ceased enrollment are not eligible claims. 004.01 Claims must be filed with the Commission within one (1) year after termination of operation of an institution. Claims filed after one (1) year must not be considered. 004.02 Claims must be in writing on forms provided by the Commission and must be forwarded to the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education. Claim forms to be used may be found on the Commission website. 004.03 Claims must be accompanied by documents such as receipts, canceled checks, or executed enrollment agreements which verify payment of tuition and fees. 004.04 Where appropriate documentation is not provided and the availability of documentation is beyond the control of the claimant, the validity of the claim may be determined based on the available evidence. 004.05 Following receipt of the claim by the Commission, the Executive Director or his or her designee(s) may investigate and must review the claim and the Executive Director must make written recommendations regarding the claim to the Commission. In arriving at the recommendations, the Executive Director or his or her designee(s) may request that a claimant submit additional documentation, explanation, and/or meet with the Executive Director or his or her designee(s). A copy of the Executive Director’s written recommendations to the Commission must be mailed to the claimant by certified mail with return receipt requested. 004.06 If the claimant disagrees with the Executive Director's written recommendations, he or she must have an opportunity to submit written comments and/or documentation with the Commission within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the written recommendations. The Commission must consider both the Executive Director’s written recommendations and the claimant’s submission in rendering its decision on the disputed claim. The Commission’s decision must be final. 004.07 If the claimant declines to seek review of the Executive Director’s recommendations within the timeframe set out in section 004.06, the Commission may act on the recommendations of the Executive Director without further notice to the claimant.
