# 6104.402 6104.402   Filing claims [Rule 402].

(a) *Filing claims.* A claim may be sent to the Board in either of the following ways:

(1) *Claim filed by claimant.* A claim shall be in writing and must be signed by the claimant or by the claimant's attorney or authorized representative. No particular form is required. The request should describe the basis for the claim and state the amount sought. The request should also include—

(i) The name, address, telephone number, and email address of the claimant;

(ii) The name, address, telephone number, and email address of the agency employee who denied the claim;

(iii) A copy of the denial of the claim; and

(iv) Any other information which the claimant believes the Board should consider.

(2) *Claim forwarded by agency on behalf of claimant.* If an agency has denied a claim for travel or relocation expenses, it may, at the claimant's request, forward the claim to the Board. The agency shall include the information required by paragraph (a)(1) of this section and by Rule 403 (48 CFR 6104.403).

(3) *Where claims are filed.* Claims should be filed with the Clerk of the Board. See Rule 401(d) (48 CFR 6104.401(d)) for filing methods and requirements.

(b) *Notice of docketing.* The Clerk of the Board shall docket the request for review and promptly provide a written notice of docketing to the claimant and the agency. The notice of docketing will identify the judge to whom the claim has been assigned.

(c) *Service of copy.* The claimant shall provide the agency employee identified in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, or the individual otherwise identified by the agency to handle the claim, copies of all material provided to the Board. If an agency forwards a claim to the Board, it shall, at the same time, provide the claimant a copy of all material sent to the Board.
