What is the process for tort claims?
- All Tort Claims are required to be submitted to the State Appeal Board (SAB) using the State Appeal Board Claim Form and Affidavit
- All claims need to be submitted in triplicate, signed and notarized
- Claims are date-stamped, numbered, entered on a computer data base and acknowledgment letters generated and sent to claimant
- Claims are sent to the AG's Office for investigation (copies of claims are also sent to Regents, DOT and DAS-GSE as appropriate for their investigation also). SAB has 28E agreement with the Board of Regents Universities (UofI, ISU, UNI and UIHC), Department of Transportation and General Services
- AG's office reviews and makes a recommendation on each claim for payment, denial or dismissal
- Recommendations are presented to the SAB members at their monthly meeting
- Claim is either approved, denied or dismissed by the SAB
