It is my understanding that your intent is for claim number 18649 is to replace claim number 9902; however, the following additional information is needed: • We need something in writing from claimant stating the intent to replace claim #9902 (currently a Priority D Claim) with claim #18649 (a higher Priority C Claim) . • Claimant has multiple claims filed with the Fund and may only have one name, address and tax I.D. number that must match in multiple claims. Thus, we request that you complete the enclosed address change form so that all claims filed under your name (Claims #9901, #9902, & 18649) are consistent. Other claims list claimant's name as Crystal Cream & Butter. It appears they should have included Company after the name (as in the new claim #18649). Those other claims also have a different contact person listed on page. one of the claim application, and are signed by someone other than Mike Newell (as on the new claim #18649). A brief letter requesting these changes along with the address change form will correct this problem (it should be signed by an officer of the company). • It is unknown claimant' s affiliation with the person that signed the new claim application (Mike Newell). Claimant must provide an "original signed" Verification and Signature Page including signatory's title as related to the claimant (preferably an officer of the company or someone designated by an officer of the company in writing to do so). In the past the Cleanup Fund allowed claimants to designate a representative to sign certain Fund documents. However, there is a concem that this procedure is not consistent with section 25299.55 of the Health and Safety Code, which requires a Fund claimant to make a sworn verification of the claim and certification of costs . Therefore, the "Authorized Representative Designation Form ' is no longer being used by the Fund and we will not accept any future documents signed by the representative that was designated by such form. We encourage claimants to sign all Fund documents personally. However, there may be circumstances where a claimant wants a representative to be able to sign Fund documents on the claimant's behalf. In this situation, the claimant must submit a notarized Power of Attorney form designating a specific representative to sign and submit documents to the Fund on the claimant's California Environments/Protection Agency �d ReereledPnper
