# 429.107 If my claim is approved, how do I obtain payment?

(a) *Claims under $2,500.* If your claim is approved, you must complete a “Voucher for Payment under the Federal Tort Claims Act,” Standard Form 1145. If you are represented by an attorney, the voucher for payment (SF 1145) must designate both you and your attorney as “payees”; we will then mail the check to your attorney.

(b) *Claims in excess of $2,500.* If we approve your claim, we will send the appropriate Financial Management Service forms to the Department of the Treasury, which will mail the payment to you.

[69 FR 48768, Aug. 11, 2004, as amended at 88 FR 1330, Jan. 10, 2023]
