Federal Indian Day Schools Settlement - Second Missing Information Protocol Summary

Who This Applies To

This protocol is only for people who:

• Submitted a claim on or before January 13, 2023, AND

• Still have missing information that hasn't been provided

This is NOT a new claims process - it only helps complete existing claims that need additional details.

What's New (Key Changes) That Could Affect GFN Members

1. Representatives for Deceased or Incapacitated Claimants

• If a claimant passed away or became unable to manage their affairs between January 1, 2025 and June 27, 2025

• Their Representative can still provide missing information

• Deadline: Written notice must be sent to the Claims Administrator by March 9, 2026

• After notice is received, more time will be granted to submit the missing information

  
  

2. Missing or Outdated Addresses

• If you submitted a claim before January 13, 2023 but haven't heard back, the Claims Administrator may not have your current address

• Deadline: Update your address anytime before June 27, 2027

Important Deadlines

• March 9, 2026: Deadline for Representatives to send written notice (deceased/incapacitated claimants)

• June 27, 2027: Deadline to update address information
