Payment Procedure
In the event a claim is made on this bond the following procedure shall be employed.
1. The Surety shall hold claims in abeyance for a period of ninety (90) days commencing either on the date such
claim is filed by the Commonwealth or the date on which the Surety notifies the Commonwealth of a claim filed by
any person. Such notification shall be made to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Manager of the Regulated Client
Services Section, Riverfront Office Center, 1st Floor, 1101 S. Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17104-2516. This
notification shall include the name of the individual claimant, the reason for the claim and the amount of the claim.
The Surety shall not provide the Commonwealth or any private individual with any remuneration until the end of the
ninety (90) day period.
2. At the end of the ninety (90) day period, if the claims exceed the amount of the bond limit, payment will be made
in the following manner: In all cases the Commonwealth shall have priority and be paid in full before any private
claims. The balance of the bond amount, if any, will be divided pro rata amount the private claimants. If, at the end
of the ninety (90) day period the total amount of all claims filed does not exceed the bond limit, then all claims
covered will be paid in full.
3. Any claims filed after the ninety (90) day period has expired shall be paid from the remainder of the bond amount,
if any. The date on which the claim has been filed shall determine the order in which payment shall be made. Those
claimants who have filed at the earliest date after expiration of the ninety (90) day period shall have priority.
