Latest News from CRCOG - December 18, 2023

Application information is available at www.crcog.org/gap-foundation-funding/.
From CFSIC - January 20, 2020
The electronic platform to accept applications for claimants who agree to be placed in “Pending” status has been re-opened, and we have also enabled applications to be sent to the ESIS team by mail or other means.
To be clear, any claimant making claim to CFSIC on this date or after this date will be placed in “Pending” status. This means that your claim will be neither active nor inactive, regardless of the severity class code assigned to your foundation. CFSIC will not place a statutory financial reserve on your Pending claim until and only if we determine that we have sufficient funds to move any or all Pending claims into either inactive or active status.
